Hi all, In earlier times I also played the harp. In order to tune the harp, you have to show up about a half hour early (hoping nobody else will be practicing) and tune. It's all well and good to use A 440 to tune, however I haven't played in a group (except possibly one) which actually PLAYS at A 440. I learned really quickly where the pitch of the group would lie, and eventually learned to tune to that instead.
I play horn in two groups at the moment, each with a different understanding of where the "pitch" is. If I tune to the given A or Bb, I usually move my slide back in when the actual playing starts!
