 Re: tuning concert "a" a disaster

I understand where this is coming from but as a professional I still have to say that if one knows their instument and it's tendencies you won't have the problems that are discribed tuning to a concert A though, I often told my students to tune to a throat tone note as well when playing with a piano just to make sure. And to be well warmed up before tuning.
I know what to expect on my high B or low E or throat tone Bb etc. when I tune to my middle break B bacause I adjusted my clarinet bases on that. If my concert A is a bit flat then I know the higher octave will be a little sharp and visa versa. So I repeat again, if you know your clarinet it doesn't make a difference if you're playing with a piano, a string quartet, a flute or an orchestra. You still have to listen, you still have to know your instrument and you still have to be a little flexible. You can tune to any note if you know the relationship it has to the rest of your clarinet. PS, I've played dozens of recitals with a piano.
