some folks want to go to A-432!

 

What do you do then???!!!

 

(I don't think this is going to fly, but occassionally
you do see a performance

at "Verdi" pitch, pitched.)

 

Either way, owners of instruments pitched at A-440 are
going to have to modify or

buy new instruments to perform at other pitches.

 

I am thinking of pitching our concert grands at A-441
because they often go down

in pitch when the lights come on. When I do my touch ups
after a rehearsal, then

the pianos are a bit flat, like A=439.6. :-] And you know,
people will talk about

that sort of thing. (LOL). I could go on and on, but I
won't.
