Ah, but I never stated that I tune to one note. I prefer to tune middle
C, the C's above and below it, open G, middle B, and altissimo D...most of
which, i do in reference to the first C. I simply struggle with using the
B as a reference pitch of my own (partially because on MY horn, it's not
the most beautiful sounding note).

Well, I apologize if I offended anyone... I _did_ try to make it obvioius
that it was my opinion by using such phrases as "I think"; "I find"; "I
... have to"; "I figure"; "I'm not sure." I even added a smily to note
that I was trying to be humorous. I had no idea at all that this could be
such a volatile subject. Not as if I was say, beating everyone over the
head with a Klose and teling them to repent; I simply stated how I felt,
trying to be funny. ^_^
