As far as safety goes, Michael Mohr told me that Steinway has been known to chip their pianos to A447. It's not a question of whether the piano can take it. But why are some orchestras tuning to a higher pitch? I cynically wonder they are looking for a special effect when playing against the A440 chimes and xylophone. Is there a good reason? It would be interesting to survey the group for the various reasons/claims that orchestra personnel have given for tuning to a higher pitch.
