Ray - only if you think it sounds better and you want to impress him! Whatever note your ensemble uses for tuning is only a reference point. Know how the rest of your instrument relates to that note tuning-wise and adjust accordingly. If a concert A is the tuning note and it tends sharp on your instrument, tune the note and then pull out the appropriate amount in the appropriate places afterwards.

If you are providing a tuning note for the rest of the ensemble 1) be in tune and 2) play with your very best tone. Great tone is easy to tune and tune to. Poor tone almost impossible.
