This is interesting, actually. I like Scott Laskey's mouthpieces myself, and played them for a period a while back. I ran into the problem of being flat up high on a rock gig, where the horn section was made up of me and two trombones. About half way through the set, they both started creeping sharp. Normally I'd try to follow them so the section doesn't sound horribly out-of-tune with itself, but I was finding myself unable to do that this time. Not only couldn't I willingly pull the note above the pitch, but I was actually going flat. The simple solution was to push my tuning slide in a little bit, and compensate in the middle/lower register, which didn't prove much of a problem.
How's everything else in relation to where you're expecting the note to sit (like in the non-high register)? Are you coming down to the pitch, or going up to them?
