Trained or not, We all tend to like pitches that are sharp, and if you start sharp, you will probably end up liking a pitch that is too high. If you start below, you have a much better chance of hearing it more accurately and therefore you will do a better job of tuning. I would listen to the correct pitch, then sing it, then play it flat and come up to it. When you find the pitch, then you have to decide whether you need to push in or pull out your mouthpiece (or whatever tuning apparatus.
I love casual trombone dude.....way too cool for THIS group...
Bass trombone can't be arsed. He just wants to blast some deep notes.
Poor mentality
Not at all
sound of band tuning is a real treat for samplers, cause you can get a long single note with a ton of timbre and character - it does wonders, haha!
Hey Ray, what is the benefit of starting flat while tuning? thx
