More 445-447 stuff. Indeed some famous musicians believe that it "sounds brighter" when a couple of cycles are added to the standard. Some honestly feel that this is the way to do it. I am waiting for the day when a conductor will have the orchestra transpose an entire symphony. How would you like to hear Beethoven's 7th in Bb major? After all when it was performed originally it certainly was hardly played at A-440! Incidentally, (Paul Dempsey) I did say "yes maestro" to a VERY famous man once - and had coffee with him after the performance -- he loved my (440) tuning.. (and then he returned to the US and worked on his West side story).. The story is true - the name was changed to protect the innocent (I was not called Ernie Juhn - I was called Izchak Juhn) - Ernie Juhn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come to Rochester, NY for excellent Seminar Oct. 3 - 6 Call: 1800-4-NYSCON for information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
