| Patrick,
I agree with big aggie - you will get a better measurement of the intonation if you play the notes where they feel right and let someone else measure the pitch. To make it even better you might consider plugging one ear so that you don't adjust the pitch to where it should be by ear, but center it by feel.
See if the the 'flat' notes on the Bach really are sharp on the Schilke - but don't look at the tuner until you have the whole range of numbers collected.
Secondly, maybe another week is needed to settle in the horn.
Third, maybe a smaller bore horn just isn't for you. Didn't you mention you had a large bore/72 and had it modified to play more open? If you already have a custom fit then why settle for a factory made horn?
My 2c
Greg
