Every week I play my Willson 2900 euphonium in a college band. For most of my band experience I've played alongside other Willson 2900 players. Blending in the section has never really been much of a problem, especially in terms of intonation.
Now one of my section-mates plays a Besson 968 with an adjustable main tuning slide.
I find blending a greater challenge now; it's harder to gauge where my section-mate is intonation-wise.
I'd like to hear about other people's experiences in similar situations. Thanks.
