Calin asked: "Does anybody know what pitch was used in Paris (France) in =
~1860?
I have a Pleyel upright from that time, under restoration, and tuned it =
1/2=20
step low of 440. It sounded awful. But tuned at 440 it is much nicer.
I should add that it has also a really short scale, so I suspect they =
were=20
using a pretty high pitch"

Calin,
Helmholtz lists French Commnon pitch @ 447.5, for that approximate time.
