Re: Always out of tune

Tuning up at a soft dynamic level will encourage you to play at a lower pitch level overall. ie tuning softly will keep pitch high so when you tune you have to pull out more to be in tune with a tuner in contrast to tuning loudly which encourages a lower pitch....this creates a higher pitch level overall when you tune up to a meter. ie you push in more to compensate. I fear I'm making this more complicated than it need be. In a nutshell...if you tune at pp and then proceed to play at forte this will tend to encourage keeping the pitch down and vice versa.
