Hi kdk,

Sorry, yes, that was just me acknowledging to Paul that I'm not suggesting someone be wedded to the tuner.

Paul is giving me a ton of help over email to improve my technique, and has suggested that I shouldn't use a tuner until I get my playing to a much more mature state, and I totally get that.

I wouldn't want to use a tuner anyway though, because I feel very confident on pitch from years spent singing in choirs. It's everything else that needs a ton of work.

I do always check with a tuner when I buy gear, because when I'm in a shop testing something, the environment is so different. In that case I'm also not playing with a tuned piano or a recorded accompaniment that could give me a clear steer if something is off.

I think that having an accompaniment that is definitely in tune is a really such a huge help for judging what's going on. Especially if I want to be tuner-free to feel my way with voicing and embouchure and all that.
