Can someone explain the reasons that using an instrument other than your
usual instrument or using pitch pipes is recomended? Although I am sure
there is carefull thought behind it I find pipes far more laborious and
can't see the benefit.
I have looked through the archives and can't find discussion on the point.

Data is not information,
Information is not knowlegde,
Knowledge is not wisdom. Frank Zappa.
The greater your conviction that an idea is correct the more likely you are
to be wrong.
