I've been getting a bit of hayfever recently (occupational hazard of living in the thames valley apparently!), and have been a little bunged up recently in the nose and sinuses. Strangely, I've noticed this can have an effect on my intonation. Sometimes when playing scales I notice I'm a bit out, so i just cover my nose and blow (like you do on a plane), which equalises the pressure. Suddenly I can hear more clearly, and my intonation immediately improves!

Has anyone noticed anything similar?
