I don't know that they way you painted it is correct. We all work at it some, we just get used to different horns. If you like the openness of the WT, then working a bit to get the lower intonation right is no big thing. Seems to be much less of an effort up high. I am not sure I would buy a horn for how it plays from low C up to G.

Most of the people on the WT Tour have had good things to say.
