I've also had some older wooden German flutes (a Conrad Mollenhauer Boehm system with open G# and a conical Meyer-style simple system to low B with ivory headjoint) which played on the flat side (c.435-439) by today's standards. At least instruments built a smidge below 440 can still be used alongside instruments built to 440, unlike HP instruments built to 452/453Hz which is a shame as some of those HP instruments can be found in remarkable condition.
