The comments I find on this list re this subject are most interesting. I notice that there are those who see it as a means of making more bucks, and others who see it as a matter principle. This gets to me just like those 55-MPH speed limits on some very crowded sections of Interstate where you will get rear-ended by a big truck if you drive less than 80. Why on earth have a standard if you don't plan to abide by it? In a private home, I just let the pitch float around 440, + or -, if there is no reason to do otherwise, and it comes right back close to the same place the same time next year. In a teaching studio, a church, or a concert hall, it's an entirely different matter. It's a matter of common sense, as I see it. Thanks for all your comments. Jim Ellis
