Re: Selmer Series 9 intonation

The sharp right hand in lowest register is pretty nearly unavoidable if you retain best tuning in other registers. That said...it isn't all that hard to bring down in pitch by holding fingers closer to open tone holes. Because the tone holes are so large you can feel the air venting through them. Sort of "floating" on that air cushion is what I do if I need better tuning on held notes.
Last but by far not least...mouthpiece choice is critical. Currently using a Sumner acousticut..large exit bore conical. Std pieces won't work well...stock old ones will work well.
