Subj: [kl] Correction: Pro/Amateur Section Evaluation of Tuneup: Bootcamp
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 12:08:11 -0500

Dear Friends,

The offer to allow full sections of orchestras or bands to use the Tuneup Systems should have mentioned clarinet sections instead of trombone and brass sections. Apologies for the mistake.

Is it fair suggest that intonation is less of a concern for woodwinds as it is for brass? Listening to "Performance Today" and the many concerts I attend, pitch for the winds is considerably less refined than the brass, in general. I was seeking a recording of Wagner's Parsifal Prelude to Act I and found one of the top orchestras in the world to have a huge discrepancy betweeen wind and brass intonation.

Thoughts?
