How to Properly Tune a French Horn

[@hyphen8d725]

one question, why would the note be flat if all the slides are pushed in? Do you mean sharp?

[@ZNTbloody]

yeah, i think he mistook it for flat.

[@jotowler3020]

So the horn will be sharp, not flat, with all the slides in. Also, there is a way of tuning the horn in sequence, and just saying 'go through the valves until they're in tune' is not it.

Very straight forward and to the point!

[@jessstuart7495]

Any recommendations on which notes to play for tuning the valve tubing slides (Bb and F horns) ?

[@willnichols5516]

At 1:50 you said the horn should be flat because everything is pushed in Mark that doesn’t sound right

What note to tune the third valve on?? No notes with just fingering three

[@sigmaohiorizzlerfanumtax]

A flat

That's a Moores School of Music Practice room if I've ever seen one lol. 3rd floor?

Thank you for the tips! I struggle a lot with intonation and tuning, because my french horn is always too sharp. I also struggle with finding a good way to tune my horn because if I tune it in the lower register, then my instrument is very flat in the high register. How could i fix this problem?

How bout Director sets slides prior to first class, build endurance during class allowing students to put slides in same place on their own after emptying and exclusively use ears and embouchure for tuning.

You neglected the complimentary horn! That's a whole other creature.
