John, The only thought that comes to my mind is that since it's "the primary cultural resource for the campus and local community and promotes the appearance of professional companies on subscription series, by hosting many of Long Island's major performing arts organizations," maybe the orchestra(s) in the area want 442, as does the Houston Symphony here and they don't want the hassle of retuning and stabilizing frequently. Just a thought. Avery >I was searching the web for any references to A-442 and found the >following page for Long Island University with info that says both concert >instruments stay at 442. Anyone have a possible explanation? >http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/tilles/tech/main.html > >John Minor >University of Illinois
