A440???

[Isaac OLEG]

Hi !

Not in France, where 442 rules (as in Europe generally, I believe, to
the point Yamaha pianos and Marimba's and vibraphones are tuned to 442
and higher from the start when sold in Europe).

We call that "cultural exception", and everybody is happy like that !
(in fact no one bother about)

Regards.

Isaac
