Here's I trick I leaned about 25 years ago from a Study book.
Test against your tuner
Play altissimo D (Toxx-xoo Eb)
Then take the mouthpiece off
Play just the mouthpiece.
The pitch should be the same.
--
of course this could vary but this is an old school intonation check for symphonic embouchure types out there (not good for doublers). If the instrument is out of adjustment/tune then it doesn't compare but the mouthpiece should.
Give it a try and tell us what you think
