Is this your Mirafone 184?

I had a cerveny tuba with that sharp 4th partial "feature". I had a main tuning slide trigger but my slide was veritcal.

You probably already know this, but you could try 2+3, but I suspect that's going to be sharp too. You might try tuning your 5th valve slide to the C if it's long enough (since it's the 2+3 interval). If not, you could try 5+2 with the 5th slide all the way in. 1+2+4 or 2+3+5 might work too, but that's starting to get cumbersome.

I'd make sure that the horn is in good repair. I suppose there might be a leak or a dent that might be affecting that note.
