 Re: Tuning and the Oboe I's role in the orchestra

Personally, I think using a tuning box is a double edged sword. When I was young, these things were horrendously expensive and therefore most people just carried an A tuning fork. Consequently, I do believe that we were better at listening to eachother, adapting to eachother, not just in tuning, but also phrasing etc. Another thing to consider, is that every scale has its own tuning, and there are subtle differences which are lost if one slavishly adheres to a tuning device. I know some would consider me old fashioned. I do believe that, of course, such devices are very useful, and yes I have one too, but would never think of using it during rehearsal, except for checking A when I am giving the note for tuning. Such devices are small and can live on or near your stand, or you can use an app such as "Tuneable" which are fit for purpose.
