I practice with 3 different Euphoniums, a brass-instrument like a small tuba. One of them - a Yamaha training instrument with 4 valves in a row - has a bad intonation at the natural fifth (upper G) actually the f ... which can hardly be compensated by lip tension or embouchure. I have no idea what could be the reason of this phenomenon as this tone is part of the overtone serie.
How can it be explained that the natural fifth of an euphonium is not in the “natural fifth pitch?
