Glad that you found this discussion interresting
I noticed the same tendencies on two other horns (Yamaha CSG II/III and 450), and perhaps similar on the Buffet R13 I've also tried (though I did not give this as much attention, I didn't like it as much as the CSG so I left it).
And since the Ridenour and CSG are the two instruments I most often read positive intonation comments about, I am doubtful that it is the instruments fault.

Thanks for the tip! I will try it for fun (I did try it once yesterday but gave up quickly).
I'm not sure if I should put too much weight into the result of such a test, if there seems to be uncertainties to what the tone should actually be?

So you're saying that this relaxed embouchure is vital around the throat tones and "short pipe tones"?
And then starting the upper clarion B, you have to firm it up again?
If I remember correctly from yesterday, when I got my best results in the lower two registers with the open embouchure, I got a terribly flat thumb C.
I believe it was like 30-40 C flat. And if I bit the reed as hard as I could, I couldn't get it more than perhaps 10-20 C flat at best.
I will continue working on the relaxation and testing my old mouthpiece (4C) a bit for reference as well.
I'm really exited to play in tune in the future! :X
regarding mouthpieces
When I mentioned "trying a different mouthpiece" I was more in to perhaps a B45 or something with a different design, rather than differently pitched (440).
Due to my possible biting issues (and god knows what else?), I fear that my testing of mouthpieces a while ago that resulted in me liking the open ones most (CL6, M30), could possibly change if I redo my embouchure?
Are there any tendancies that biting affects open/closed mouthpieces differently?
Regards
Peter
