Re: Vandoren Mouthpiece - 13 series or not?

Three or four years ago I had to rehearse using my Ottensteiner A -- at that time it was optimised to go at A=438 -- in the Brahms Trio. (The out-of-town period piano was promised to be tuned at that pitch.)

We couldn't rehearse in London with the piano that we'd be using in the concert, but were able to use the BBC Maida Vale studios as an interim measure.

I thought that I'd be able to handle a couple of vibrations sharp -- A438 to A440.

However, it was a great difficulty; and I found that the reason was that NOW all BBC pianos are tuned at A=442!

FOUR vibrations sharper was too much, so we all suffered a great deal:-(

So much for International agreements.
