Does it make sense for a clarinetist to tune to an A,

Author: ruben

We traditionally tune to A-440 or 442, I imagine because all string instruments have an A string (is there another reason?) The only trouble is that when we play an A on the clarinet-our B, of course-it tends to be a tad flat. I heard the Duke Ellington orchestra for years and never once saw them tune up!
