Hi Monte, ... i find these intervals difficult as well ... especially on higher or lower registers as you said. What helps me is to "sing" triads if i'm not sure, but i'm not happy with this approach as i would like to hear clearly the differences between both .. Hope Pedja can give us some other ideas ... but i'm afraid i know what his answer will be .. What could help, is to think at the first note as the first chord in a blues progression, is the second note the iv chord or the v chord??? Otherwise, Pedja mentioned a great idea here before. Take a famous song: for a fifth, take "Twinkle,twinkle little star" for example....

The reason why its tricky to say if its a fourth or fifth (especially in the lower registrys) is that the fourth interval will actually be a fifth interval, if its inverted. As guitar players, we are using these inversions all the time in form of "power-chords", and therefore also recognizes them easier with a guitar sound. But its true as Pedja says that its harder on piano in the lower registries. When I studied ear training, I was transposing the intervals in my head (one octave above) - when they were really low.... Also we have the matter that a piano is a well-tempered instrument, which gives that no interval is really "clean" or "sharp", but i dont think that matters in this case...
