I was in a rehearsal band a long time ago, and one of the elderly trb players had an old trb that was (I was told) built based on A=438. However true that may or may not be, he was consistently flat. Fortunately, he was also very quiet (as well as always playing in the the key of Bb. Taking me out of the picture (I was 17-18), the average age of the band was something like 80.

I bought a beautiful King -tuning-in-the-hand-slide model circa 1920's which has a very beautiful sound but which played flat in first position with the tuning slide completely up. With help from the list I found that the initials L.P. under the model information stood for "Low Pitch". By setting my tuner at A=438 I can bring it into tune. I also have an older King with tuning slides in the bell section. The shorter slide allows tuning to A=444, the longer one requires setting the tuner to 438 and 436 would be better if my tuner had that capability.

I'll have to remember 444 for when I'm sharp! Fred Hudson wrote: > > Ed recalled: > >> Which brings up an interesting memory...
