Re: tuning concert "a" a disaster

Tuning with a piano is odd in the first place. Piano uses "tempered" tuning so that all the scales can be reasonably in tune. A melodic instrument, or voice, will naturally want to make such adjustments as "raising the seventh," "lowering the third," etc. which are natural "justified tuning" practices.

Of course, if the clarinet tuning vs. the piano is raising one or more of your eyebrows, chances are that there is more going on. Certainly I would prefer a start with a concert "F" (open G) or at very least arpeggiate whatever note you pick so that you have a better sense of over all tuning.

It's not uncommon for medium grade ensembles to be great at tuning to the note they pick to tune to regularly, only to precede to play sharp (usually "out of tuneness" goes high) on every other note.
