Last try with this horn!

I have a medium (still quite small!) front valve King Eb that plays fantastic. It's super resonant, easy to play, has a surprisingly full sound, and a really good low Bb/A. It also has that wonky long octave thing- in tune low Eb but very flat low D, sharp Eb/D in the staff, and a few others. I've had the main slide cut to try different default tunings and screwed around with a lot of mouthpieces. Nothing's helped.

I'd like to keep it. Any ideas before it goes away with everything else (another Eb, bass trombone, euph, cimbasso)?

INDEED - it DOES!!!!!!

Simply advertise it on flea bay as the most in tune tuba ever made then buy it. Problem fixed.

(We all know you can trust what people write in their ads.)
