The pedal register is Beefy. The range from low Bnatural to the Eb below can be falsed or ghosted. Is this better on this horn than others? I can not make that comparison, but it's not hard for me to perform these notes. The pedals pop right out ( from pedal Eb to B natural) and sound great!
Intonation: Depending on the mouthpiece I use, sometimes the upper register is a tad flat. The bigger the mouthpiece, the easier to get it right on. When I use a smaller moutpiece (and I usually never really play these) I have more problems, (so I'm not sure it's so much the horn as the player : )
