If the notes are low, they are easy to bend with the lips too high and they can tend to be sharp if the embouchure is overly tense. You want to pick harmonics that are relatively in tune and are in a middle register. Pick the notes you are using to tune carefully.but here are some things to keep in mind no matter how your tuning slides are arranged This standard 8-slid arrangement means you need to tune the horn in a specific order. You can find the exact slide arrangements (and which slide does what) at the bottom of this page. Most double horns feature at least the following slides: the main tuning slide, an F tuning slide, and six slides for the valves (3 each for the F and Bb side). Tuning horns with independent Bb tuning.This page should hopefully not only give you an idea of how to tune the double horn, but also give an overview of what the different slide arrangements for different models of French horns. Even if you know that you’re flat or sharp, knowing the exact slide to adjust can feel like a coin toss! This is especially true considering the variety of models of French horns, with different tuning slide arrangements. Tuning the French horn (and intonation in general) is not the easiest concept to understand for some students.
