Seriously, though, why doesn't everybody have their instrument already
tuned when they unpack it and start warming up? It's not as though
perfectly capable automatic tuners are beyond anybody's financial reach
these days.
My horn was tuned at the factory. I shouldn't have to change it now, righ

Er, doesn't that depend on what temperament you have your electronic

Well, in my band transcriptions (available from Lauren Keiser Music) I provided
a special OBBLIGATO CLARINET to cover the oboe part if necessary--will blend
better with other woodwinds than a muted trumpet, I think.

Good thoughts on tuning. I love the contributors to this list. I do want to
clarify that I was joking about using the muted trumpet. I was referring to
the ubiquitous arranger's technique of cueing the oboe part for muted
trumpet. Besides, I doubt the players will arrive early enough to give the

I concur with David. Clarinet is an excellent choice if the player is
good, but keyboard is best if there is one in the orchestra. I use
clarinet in my college wind ensemble, unless my oboist is
exceptional, because the general level of clarinet tone production
and stability is so much bett
You make good points. After I hit "send" I remembered that we're using a
synth in the group to cover the accordion part. I'll tune to that (not the
accordion sound though!)
