I don't notice the woodwinds in the MO being any sharper than any other section in the orchestra. There are moments but every orchestra has those. We tune, by contract, to A 440 and Osmo pretty much keeps us there. The only time you have to adjust is playing piano concertos in places like Vienna where they play about 444, I think. But thats Doug's job, so, I don't lose much sleep over it

So, there's nothing for me to expound on, sorry. I practice playing in tune and if I'm in tune with myself I'm generally in tune with the orchestra.
