LMQ-tuned (Low, Mid, Fifth)

[Morne]

I thought it was the H reed that was the 5th not the middle?

Looking at this Titano Combo it does seem to be the case that they are LMH with the H tuned down 5 half steps.

Yes the pattern of the shifts look like L M H but look closely at the 2nd photo, that 3rd dot is not on the H or on the M , It designates an extreme wide wet tuning of a M or H reed set.
When using any note of a passage a 5th or quint sound adds flavor to jazz menu's. But the primary note must be dominant. As long as the primary note is stronger and the 5th above or 4th below is weaker it works. Strong C and a weak G - or - Strong C and a weak F .

So the reason why some people call it LMH, even though it uses LMM reeds, is because the second M reed set is in fact higher than the first, and calling it LMM would imply something more wrong than LMH?

Thanks, I think I understand now. Darn sounds like way to much work to change a LMH box.
