 Re: How sharp to tune in the altissimo?

EP--"it's better to be sharp than out of tune"--I like that one.....

One of my fav's comes from a old local jazz player who always muses, "It's better to play in tune than be in tune".

A local symphony clarinetist used to say he tuned sharp because it made him "sound better". I only lasted one concert series playing second to him.

Another symphony clarinetist from our local professional group used to say, "good intonation was good cooperation" (within the ensemble).

Intonation is never an absolute science and the use of a tuning meter is only a "good start". After that, it's all relative--listen, adjust and play in tune.
