The oboists in this area generally get out a Korg (or similar tuner) and
play an A that they lip up or down to show A440 on the tuner's gauge. Thus,
we can say we're tuning to A440. Of course, the A moves up almost
immediately to whatever the market will bear, because even the oboist's real
(non-lipped) pitch isn't 440 once he/she starts playing and trying to
"project." The Philadelphia Orchestra, I believe, tunes to either 440 or
442, and of course their oboists are more careful to have a reed that
actually plays (focuses) at the tuning pitch.
