If you play and sing the right notes, you get a "ghost note" which makes up
a triad. Horn players are particularly good at this - apparently a normal
triad (1-3-5) and a 1-3-6 (or is it 1-4-6, I forget) chord are the easiest.
I think you sing the top note and play the bottom one. It works like the
harmonic you hear when two woodwind instruments (flutes, particularly) are
playing up high - when they're in tune, the "ghost note" which is in the
middle is in tune as well. We use that a lot for tuning in our orchestra.
A useful trick when you're trying to tune altissimo notes or eefer.
