Hello
I need some help tuning my Cor Anglais, as it is kinda tricky...
Tuning to concert A, so I play top stave E, is fine, and is very easy to get in tune.
But, the one finger C in the stave, its a thumbplate model, is horrifically flat, sometimes registering as a sharp B natural, while the other notes below it arent too bad. If I tighten my embouchure or add more breath, the pitch rises, but the reed starts to 'wobble' when it vibrates, resulting in what sounds like insanely fast tounging. The only way I've found to try and rectify the problem is by pulling the bocal out nearly as far as it goes, and clamping down like a vice on every note that isnt a C...
At the moment the problem only seems to occur on the C in the stave and the one above it, so I'm guessing that its something to do with the gap between the bocal and the top of the inner bore, but I don't really know...
Thanks
