Let's hear about the intonation problems.

I own a G-50 that was the last horn that Mr Jacobs played on and he never had a problem. I had previously owned a CB-50 and had no problems and have had no problems with the G-50. I sold the CB-50 only because it was decided that Mr. Jacobs last horn should be kept by someone in the "family" - I also took a couple hundred dollar hit for that privlige but, oh well (the tarnish on the horn was free).

Granted, neither Mr Jacobs or myself are "slide-pullers" and I would admit that the tight wrap of the horn might be a problem for those who are because of the ergonomics of the horn.

Maybe the best advice is what Mr. Jacobs said - "If you think a note in tune, you will play it in tune."
