Re: Tuning

Keep in mind it is MUCH easier to lip down to pitch than bite up to pitch. So the prevailing guide is to keep the notes that tend to be flat at pitch and just relax on the ones that tend higher.

I suggest tuning to your open "G." This for me is the most average note of all. Get that one sounding great while perfectly centered in your embouchure (not too loose; not too pinched). Once that is set your whole range will tend to be more even. Still, as said above, you'll humor the higher notes downward. Think about it, you NEVER want to be biting (and biting unsuccessfully at that) to come up to pitch.........NEVER.
