It's fairly common in Europe to tune to 442Hz, and in Germany and Austria to be at least 443-444Hz.
With a easy playing reed (European U scrape) with a thin tip and narrow aperture it is possible to play at 442Hz or higher.
Also, temperature will affect the overall pitch.
I'm not sure how stable/inflexible the American long W scrape reeds are in terms of making them play sharp - the U scrape reeds we use here (in the UK) will allow a lot of freedom in tuning flexibility, sometimes too much so embouchure control is important.
