If you'll read closer I believe I said "blending" which is an entirely different concept than "tuning." Of course one will tune by listening, anybody and everybody knows that, but tuning is simply an adjustment of pitch whereas blending is the synthesis of different harmonies into an integrated whole. Blending with a section of Bb trombones is easier with an instrument in the same key as the section, the BBb tuba, because the harmonic tendencies of the instruments are the same. So you see, that's exactly why I avoided the word "tuning" and wrote "blending." There is a difference.
