 History of Concert A=440
Author: John Stackpole

According to a quick Google search, the US aodpted 440 Hz as the "standard" for Concert A in 1939, rather recently in musical history. (I found this on the Internet, so it MUST be true - yeah, right!)

Did every clarinet player in the country then have to rush out and get a longer (or shorter) barrel as a 1939 Christmas present for him/her-self?

Or was this a non-problem? How do you tune "old" clarinets?

Just curious.
