I have two tubas, one a 6/4 York, the other a 4/4 Amati. When I first started playing the York, the F below the staff was very flat, but after a while playing I can lip it up. Then when I move to the Amati, its F is very sharp, again I need time to bring it down. Switch to the York, and I am flat again. I can't move the mouth pieces as the shanks are different sizes. I would like any wisdom you can offer.
