Pitch in Russia: I have an email correspondent who is a french horn player
in the Presidential Orchestra of Russia. I asked him what pitch his
orchestra tunes at and he replied 442, although personally he prefers 440.

> Since were on the topic, perhaps some people

could confirm the pitch some orchestras play at.

I've been told Vienna is up at 447, and Berlin at
448. I know from adjusting pitch on ADATS
that some recording require approx. 20 cents
correction of pitch in order to play along
with orchestral parts. Is anyone still at
the old standard universal pitch of 435? Moscow??

Questions:

1) Interested in reports of pitch from people that
play with, or have played with these and/or orchestras
around the world. First hand reports.

2) If the pitch really does get up to 448 at times,
are they having clarinets made exclusively for
that region? A combination of different clarinet
plus shorter barrel?

Cheers
Dave Renaud
