That's interesting. I have always played with the barrel
pulled out about 3/8 inch (guess) to get into tune. Is this
common practice or just some strange habit I picked up
at some point? My problem now is with a couple specific
notes being sharp while the rest are in tune. I tend to
blame that on leaks.
