I could be way off-base here, but could the difference in distance from the source of sound cause the differing opinoins of pitch? Or in other words: could one person's ear, which is next to the bell, focus on one overtone while someone else, 10 violas away, centers on a different one?
It seems to me that tuba tone (and certainly time) change as you get further away from the bell - could it follow that pitch is affected by this as well?
any thoughts?
