I would avoid using the term "standard concert pitch" for two reasons: 1. "International concert pitch" was a pitch standard used around the turn of the 20th century, and was in fact A=432. It['s best not to use confusing terminology. 2. When you introduce the term "concert" to the discussion, you are giving your customer the opening to think "well, I'm not playing in a concert, so why should I care about standard concert pitch?" I suggest - drop the word "concert", and stick with "standard pitch". Israel Stein
