The construction of the Hosaphone(tm) sounds pretty general; can you provide a table of correct hose lengths to use for each key?
Every player is different; tuning a Hosaphone(tm) is not like tuning an instrument like a piano or organ that produces the same pitch regardless of who plays it. My recommendation is to start a tad long and then hack off 1/64″ segments with a Swiss Army knife or chain saw until you are in tune. Use a tuning fork (did you know the tuning fork was invented by a trumpet player?) and not one of those newfangled machines that lets you *SEE* if you are in tune. If you can’t *HEAR* if you’re in tune or not you have no business playing a Hosaphone(tm). Remember: don’t cut too much off at once. You can always take some more off, but you can’t put it back on! By the way, all our measurements are non-metric. (No one uses metric anyway, so why pretend?) If you wish to made a Hosaphone(tm) in high F, to tackle Bach’s Brandenburg No. 2, start with about 6 or 7 feet. French Horn players will want to start with about 12 or 13 feet to create a Hosaphone(tm) in F.
