I finally got my YEP - 642S Friday, and have been playing it for the past 2 days(loving every second of it!) but have an audition (All State East) on this coming Saturday. I had the oppurtunity to have me play and see what was happening on a tuner with my band director today and it looked as if I hadn't gotten used to the horn, because on my other horn, a 3 valve Bach, my intonation was fine. Note, this was without me being able to see the tuner, but I played very well in tune as long as I could see the tuner.. so I'm not worried about the horn being a bad run..

anyway, what are your thoughts on using a horn for an audition when it's this new? My director is trying to get me to use the old horn for the audition, but it just doesn't play as well as this horn. After playing the 642, my Bach seems like a lightweight.. The YEP just seems to sing..

Thanks for all the comments.
