It's interesting what happens when you pick up a C trumpet.
I suspect that's the downside of using well tempered instruments, though the alternative (a different instrument for each key) isn't realistic. [ Aside: Which brings me on to another issue, it's a pity that you can't buy cornets in A any more. ] We have a concert pitch cornet at home, I'll do some comparisons on the tuning of that with a Bb instrument. The trouble is that there will be other inconsistencies because the Bb is a Sovereign and the C is a Schilke and different brands of instruments don't tend to blend anyway.
