I attached the microphone to the bridge of my TFI tuner when I began practising scales...worked a treat.

This is a great idea and the first time I've heard of it. Simple like all great ideas but very useful. Thank you.

It's comforting to know that professionals makes the occasional mistake when "finding" notes. It's also scary as hell.

@mattshin1 I just checked with a tuner, I believe it's 440. I could be wrong, though.

Interesting that the third and leading-tone do not seem to be subjected to the same rigurous tunning than the other "perfect" intervals. In reality, all intervals could (and in some cases should!) be tuned pure - especially in a format where there is no piano. Even if it opens a can of worms, string players should be taught where the differences between Equal Temperament and Just Intonation are, so that at least we could anticipate and aim to compensate for that difference....

Yes! Also Pythagorean for scales and passing notes
