 Re: Low note intonation sharp

I could be wrong, but I suspect that some of the perceived sharpness in the long notes is actually flatness in the throat tones. The mouthpiece plays flat and affects the notes closer to it than the long notes. When you tune low C or open G (which may actually flat) the long notes get sharp. The notes least affected by the mouthpiece are long E/B.

I think this is especially likely because when you play low it is easy to relax the embouchure and throat to bring out the lower partials and broaden the sound. When you do that you can drop the pitch very easily.

I also find that for me, mouthpieces tend to make the throat tones flat.
