About pitch. I can speak only of "mid-fi" professional groups since I've never played with the CSO, but I would imagine that reality is just more refined.

Pitch is "in the moment" and also section to section or even individual to individual. Once you've established the paradigm (the tuning note at the beginning of rehearsal or performance) it is up to everyone to continually adjust to each other. So perhaps if you have a solo moment as principal, you can reign in the pitch with the help of electronics (if that's your preference). Usually though as one without the gift (or curse) of perfect pitch, I prefer to abandon the tuner altogether once the train has left the station.
