Re: new player with intonation/tuning question

Playing in tune is 'relative', that is if everyone is flat the same amount it will sound fine. Eg. the piano is flat also.
Another thing to realize is that it is impossible to design or build a clarinet that is in tune with itself, so a good player is always changing a note up or down, by embouchure or using finger tricks to be in tune with other instruments. Play all the notes you know with the tuner and mark in cents where each note is. Reply back and someone here can answer with better information. There are common mis-tunings that have good solutions.
