This is quite the opposite of my experiences. The longer I play, the clearer
it has become to myself that I sound better when I don't have to push notes
around. This goes as well for orchestra or ensemble intonation as for every
aspect of the tuning of my own equipment, be it reeds, staples, bocals, or
instruments. The less I have to worry about intonation, the better I can
sound.

Best regards,
