Partial line up

Post by whitbey »

Over the last two years with some great lessons from Ken Thompkins my sound has improved a lot. Funny thing though is my partials are lining up really close. D is a little short but not often. F above the staff is the same as F in the staff most of the time as is Bb and high Bb. Low F is still shorter then C.
This happens on my two 547/562 Edwards horns. My 50 year old Bach bass is still needing a kick out up there but it is quite a bit less than it used to be.
My tuning slide is still the same. I have always played my first out from the stop.
As what is required is, I am not worried about it. Maybe just marveling at it and a little curious.

Hmm. I've noticed my high F and Bb getting farther out (I'm playing sharper there) and I'm consciously starting to lip down a bit more up there.
