No, your clarinet was not tuned at the factory. That's your job.

    Wow that cover of the swan made me yearn for my clarinet playing days- you did such a nice job, & im glad you’re still making videos.

    Worth mentioning when talking about intonation is that tone color is very important. If you have a bright tone with no overtones any deviation from perfect intonation will sound like shit. If you have plenty of overtones you can be allowed a little more wiggleroom without it sounding out of tune to the ear

      OR…. Too dark w/No overtones or colour or projection whatsoever…. I hear it a LOT on the internet these days. Frustrating

      @@emjay2045 Sure I guess. The point was that a larger amount of overtones help intonation.

    Good as far is it goes. Ultimately you have to develop your ear as well. Not a word was said about that. There's so much you can learn practicing with a drone. I hope more intonation videos are coming!

      @kevinm.pfeiffer5037 Před rokem +2

      That comes with time and practice. But using a tuner for personal practice ensures that you get off to a good start (e.g. in this case from a concert pitch of 442 and not something else) and provides a solid basis (i.e. practicing in tune) for developing your ears. Good idea, too, with the drone.

      But your ear will likely develop naturally over time as you learn to tune your instrument with the aid of a tuner.

    My understanding is that one of the universe’s great jokes on us is that the laws of physics make it physically impossible to build a musical instrument that is in tune with itself. It’s not so much compromising intonation vs usability or playability, as that if you make some notes better in tune that will make others out of tune. You can be in tune with a tuner and still be out of tune with the other instruments who are playing (even though they may also in tune with a tuner). So in an ensemble at least you just have to listen, and hope everyone else is listening too.

    I'm actually learning that song rn! I've been working on all of the audition music for the New York Philharmonic, so one day I can hopefully apply to an orchestra/philharmonic. I just got back into playing. Unfortunately, the instrument I'm renting currently, the previous owner broke it in half so it's been glued back together 😭

    Why do they need a tuner on the audition? Are You expected to play for robots? If a human cant tell if you are out of tune then why does it matter?

      it shows that you can tune with the ensemble fluently, sure, they cant tell that yo play out of tune by yourself, but the moment you play out of tune with an ensemble, its really noticeable.
