I have a similar problem and I've been told that somewhere (I believe just
inside the bell) there should be H or L (high or low). I have to own up to
not checking mine yet so I guess I'd better go and do that now. I recently
discovered on a friends Spit just how different the tones can be on various
horns so I'm planning to replace mine with a matched pair rather than hope
that I pick up a single that complements rather than clashes with the one I
have.
