I guess the bottom line is. We need some standard ... A440 was agreed upon
And seems fine. We can deviate from that easily IF that is what we wish.
But, please do not tell me that the standard is low because you or your

Guys - we can discuss this on a Internet mailing list all we want, but many
of the major orchestras have already settled on a 442 pitch, and are not
going to be influenced by what we write here. Don't assume I am in favor of this,
it just happens to be the reality of the situation.
