Drone disk - help

Post by SqueakyOnion »

As with most horns, my 6th partial is sharp. I've heard those notes sharp my entire playing career, and have only recently have begun to correct that. I have made a fair amount of improvement, but still have a ways to go.

I've been told there was a thread on where to find a "drone disk" online for free, but couldn't find the thread in the search.

I'd really like something to help me correct my intonation foible, something to use as a reference pitch, other than the tuners that can produce a single pitch.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

I typed "tuning drone disk" into Google, and the first result was:

Some things are easier than they seem.
