Sounds like you've got an old high-pitch horn; before about 1920, they were very common. These horns are tuned to about A=457, but many came with a second tuning slide that lowered them to the low-pitch A=435 system. You might want to think about have a slide made or your current one modified to bring the pitch down to something usable.
