A student has asked if these horns are known to have an "engineered" overtone series that runs flat in the range in the staff and below.
Can anyone confirm or offer a solution?
I suspect psycho-acoustics to be partially operative here as well.

Re: King 1124 Marching Baritones Pitch Problems
That is not my experience at all. Mine is pretty much what I'd expect from a brass instrument - 5th partial a tad low, 6th a tad high, 7th funky.
