Yes exactlyA bit of note bending but almost nobody would have though 30+ cents off the pitch....
After recording this I ran the alto track with the tuner on it, then suddenly saw 30 cents flat and "blimey, I have to fix that or there will be hell to pay when the forum people get to hear it"
So I tuned it up digitally, played it back and it sounded worse. I thought at first may be it is just intonation, but in that case it should actually have been sharper than the tuner
So back to 30 cents flat and decided it sounded OK to leave it and call it a blue note.
So when I see people talk about practising intonation by looking a tuner, I do tend to point out it isn't always a great idea.
