Hi there,

I recently purchased a Jupiter Artist Series Bari from my local music store. Overall, I was blown away by the quality of the instrument. It is stunningly beautiful, and it produces a wonderful, round tone.
However, lately I have been noticing extreme intonation problems on my upper F# and G. The F# is quite sharp, and the G is very close to being a G#. Has anyone else had any issues with this? I took it into the shop but they couldn't find anything wrong with the horn. If you have had an issue like this, what did you do to fix it?

Thanks,

-Sean

which F and G are we taking about here just at the top of the stave or are we talking altissimo register?

if it is the altissimo register try doing overtone exercises which help develop your breathing technique which help with the upper register. If you like i can email you a set of exercises for doing overtones.

Hope it helps,
