The reason I was asking is that I purchased a new RC13 some 8 months ago,
believing it to be a 440 pitch. Following a recent post to this list, I
obtained a copy of the Buffet catalogue for current models and it clearly
displays the pitch for all but the Prestige and the Elite) as being 442.
The dealer acknowledges the facts. I am now arranging for my RC13 to be tested.

Perhaps your assertion reflects one of the reasons proffered me, although I
had tentatively rejected it - that is, Buffet produces different pitches for
different regional markets. This doesn't make much sense to me, but......

Anyone else?
