Re: Pitch

My suggestion would be to do more with setting the TONE feature (say concert Bb) and then playing "Bb scales, arpeggios and exercises (my favorites are all the keys in the Kroepsch Exercises). You want (ideally) to be able to match pitch with your years mostly, not your eyes. Lately I find that setting the fixed pitch at a higher octave (not for the sonically squeamish) makes it EASIER to hear the comparison to those (the ones you are playing) that are lower.

Once you've spent some time in a practice session doing that, then check the meter.

I would say anything more than five cents out is going to be noticeable to just about everybody.
