Have never needed to reach the 1st slide while playing. The intonation of the Neptune is excellent!

PS Alternative fingerings, or use of the 5th valve have got me around any occasional tuning problems. For example when using mute I hold down the 5th valve and use Bb fingerings to pull back into tune.
