Am I crying or is there cork dust in my eyes? 🥲

C/S flat pitch. This is extremely common - think of the residue buildup over time as the opposite of tone hole undercutting. Gradually your intonation goes flat, your sound gets stuffy, extreme dynamic ranges don't feel right, and slurs over wide jumps aren't smooth.
