Yes, I agree with the comments about using a tuner in an ensemble.
Here is an except of my tuning book for clarinets from the Frequently Asked Questions section:
Q. With my tuner and a tuner pick-up I could play in an ensemble with the tuner on all the time and always be right. Good idea, isn’t it?
A: Well, you might be correct, but probably not right. Remember these things: 1) When playing in an ensemble we adjust the pitch to match a pure tuning of the chord. This may not be the Equal Tempered scale of the tuning machine. 2) The amount of warm-up of instruments and the performance space temperature makes a lot of difference in the general pitch of the ensemble. 3) Different instruments have different tuning response to changes in temperature and volume. 4) Not everyone has as good an ear as you have developed by using this method. 5) Even with a trained ear for pure intervals, we have to understand that in real music performance the theory of tuning and practical “getting along” sometimes clash. Playing in tune is both a science and an attitude.
