I just purchased a Center Pitch Tuner. This is the tuner that attaches to your instrument and works off of vibrations. I bought it for two reasons: 1. To let me know if each note I was playing was in tune. 2. To let me know how in tune my trumpet is with itself. Something is either wrong with how I'm playing the notes, or my trumpets are inherantly out of pitch even when I attempt to make the correction, either with tuning slides, or my lip. I find it hard to believe either one because I sound good when playing with others. The horns I've tested this on are "vintage": Holton Collegiate, Olds Ambassador, Noble, and a Conn 22B. If you have experience with this tuner I sure would like to hear from you. .................crow
