<<You ultimately have to play with other people or a piano and no one plays each note bang on at 440 with other people-if you did you would probably sound out of tune, even though your machine is telling you that you are in tune. Develop your ear and not your eyes. >>

Amen to that!

It's fun to make the needle stay in the middle, but once you get a reed that you *know* plays 440 under laboratory conditions, you still have to take it from there into the "real world".

For example, for the last few weeks I have been playing in a pit band, and during the course of the show, I have to duet with a clarinetist who is very good, but who invariably hangs a little under-pitch. Believe me, I am not going to sit there and show him the needle on my machine! I am going to do what I have to do to make us sound good together!
