In the clip I heard, it wasn't a question of "out of tune". The accordionist only seems comfortable in Ab, and the homebrew 'tubaist' can literally only play an F and a C. Since he's 'locked into' a key, it'd be only considerate for the accordionist to play in his key.tbn.al wrote:The pitch issues compare to those that I hear in many church choir bass sections - "low is low and it doesn't need to be on pitch, 'cause low is good enough".
