RE: Standard Tuning in a band

Thanks for the reply, not quite what I was after, I know about keys etc I was just wondering whether bands that have woodwind in them (sax and clarinet) do they tune to the woodwind instruments. I was asking this as I may join in some jam sessions with the clarinet when I become a little more consistant, and am trying to avoid the nightmare of being at a loss when I have to use fingerings I am not quite familiar to yet for eg. a whole scale full of flat's.

I don't know how semi-tone crept in, I meant a tone. So the guitars etc would tune down a full tone to match the woodwind. I play on a variety of stringed instruments and have no problem transposing up or down to whatever, not so ideal on the clarinet - for me anyway.

Basically, do we force em to tune to us???
