Yep, and just to keep up tradition, it's the oboe player who operates
the
digital tuning device. ;D
Until you get the player (or novice conductor!) who tries to tune the
brass section to an A !!!
I've had it happen - someone who insisted I tune my trombone to an A

Wols,
As a piano/keyboards/bass/guitar player here who has only played with an
"orchestra" for high school musicals many moons ago, you have me
wondering now:
From what I thought happened, the oboist tunes to the piano if one is
used or to a tuner otherwise. From that point, I assume all the
woodwinds can match the A and tune themselves. Strings usually have an
open A, and then they can tune the rest by fourths/fifths. When and how
do the brass typically get their reference pitch?
