Tuning fork users

[Larry]

Folks,

I guess I just a stubborn mule.  I learned with a C fork, even did my exam 
using a C fork (I was scared I wouldn't get the A440 right, but it was 
right on!) and developed my own pattern starting from the C4.  I like it 
because I can widen the F2-C3 interval on poorly scaled pianos right at the 
start and base the rest of my temperament on that.  As I said, though, I 
would never be able to go to starting with an A fork, even if it means 
doing an exam!

If I'm asked to tune to A442 (I haven't been) I will just make the 
calculation for C4:  525.63-523.25 = 2.38 beats/sec sharp instead of 
442-442 = 2 beats/sec sharp.
