Not to be disrespectful, why not use the piano to tune notes? I can appreciate the accuracy of this specific harmonic, I was impressed to learn how in tune the B harmonic is with the piano at only 3 cents flat! I do appreciate autonomy of learning pitches using what's available on the cello as reference, but I prefer a faster method of improving my pitch memory directly with the grand piano (play a note on piano, walk to cello while imagining the pitch I heard, play it on cello, compare, and repeat). I also find software available on smartphones to be fast and brutally accurate, some software even with stretch tuning to match most grand pianos. This new technology aiding in practice is quite game changing in my eyes. None of this is to say Professor Hans Jensen is not a fantastic teacher, because he clearly presented good improvements for Liav Kerbel - a good cellist himself, with good tone, and musical sense.
The piano is tuned in Equal Temperament. Hans is talking about Just intonation, where pitches are essentially tuned in accordance with the overtone series. This piece is a convenient teaching example for this as it is in A major, which is also an open string on the cello (which is why Hans demonstrates harmonics/overtones on the A string). To train your ear to hear Just Intonation would be impossible by just “playing notes on the piano,” as it’s literally tuned with a different system of intonation entirely.

Such a practical lesson! Kudos to Prof. Jensen and the student who is willing to do this in front of everybody.
Even if their Level seems unreachable for me as a beginner, I still enjoy to hear those lessons.
Thank you CelloBello
Liav you are a real Mensch! What a wringer Hans Jensen put you through. I see you took it in turn. What a great sport. And I hope it does help you.
Whats that thing by his right foot that has a blue light
Bluetooth page turner for his iPad. Go to 3:11 and you'll see him tap it to turn the page.
@@jdungan6590 Oh thank you

For questions about intonation for strings, I recommend Prof. Jensen's book "CelloMind" it's a fascinating topic!
