Take your tuner along. Check interval jumps --say from middle C to every other note. Tune the starting note, change fingering and see what happens.

Check the 12ths to see if there is a consistent tunning difference between the low and middle registers. If there is consistency, that can be improved with a barrel.

Play scales, and watch the tuner. Be sure that you can managed the instrument's tuning vagaries.

Then, listen to the tone and responsiveness.
