[Trombone-l] Tune a day vs. New Tune a Day vs. Tuna Pitch

[Steve Gamble]

I have the "Flounder Pitch" software.  Good for avoiding that trap of
playing under the pitch in order to achieve a dark sound.

Not really related but funny:

There's a free widget for Mac OS X called "Tuna Pitch". It is a  
chromatic tuner for your Mac working off your internal or USB  
microphone. It's designed for guitar, but can auto-tune chromatically.

Cheers!
