I purchased a little Conn Eb, 3-valve, tuba back in December and love playing it. However, I'm having a lot difficulty getting it in tune. It quite flat. I can't lip it up enough to get it in pitch. I'm wondering if there are mouthpiece more specifically suited for Eb tubas that might help alleviate the problem. The horn was completely overhauled and restored, so I hate the thought of hacking around on any of the tubing. I tried that back in college on an old King Eb that was horribly flat in the second valve and it didn't really help that situation. Is this a problem I'm just going to have to live with or does anyone know of a possible solution? Thanks for any help you can give me.
