Should i go with this a or the e version if i want to use it to learn ear training for guitar, piano, shamisen, and voice?

The E version is the standard vocal quartet pipe for the treble clef. The A version is pitched lower. I like the A version when practicing bass or baritone part to verify notes.

Would this be alright for a collegiate mixed a capella group? The starting pitch given is usually the bass note.

My women's barbershop quartet loves that it is a lower pitched pipe (often the very note our bass sings.) Good quality sound that carries to all ears as well. Love, love, love mine.

Which tombo.is best for ladies barbershop quartet 13a or e?

Use the E variety. It is the standard pipe used by Barbershop Quartets world wide. The 13E is pitched more appropriately for ladies and mixed barbershop quartets alike. I have both versions and like to use the A version when part learning because it is pitched down 5. It is sometimes easier to use for the bass/bari note checking.

has anyone's pipe developed problems? A few people said notes weren't in pitch. I assume they checked it with a piano and not just their "ear"

Not that I'm aware of. I gave this pipe to my husband who has used it in worship. He played French horn & has near perfect pitch. He has not had any problem with it since January.
