| MB- Are you talking about individual tuning or developing intonation as a section (because those are similar, but different). Are you sitting in the "hot seat"?
If it is section, and you are sitting in that afrementioned hot seat, get your sectionmates together and play some trios or quartets (or Bach Chorales).
Using a fixed external pitch while buzzing on a BERP really helps. It coordinates the embouchre and the ear. As does using that fixed external pitch while doing lip flexibilities and pausing on random partials to check for resultant tones.
I harmonized the Schlossberg 1st long tone study, and set my sound to the fullest string section sound I could find. That helped alot, too. It changes chords while I sustain the pitch (meaning I in effect change chord components), so it develops the adjustment skill necessary in varying harmonic vocabulary. Takes a bit of time, but once you get how your software works, it's not hard. It's good for the theory chops, too.
