A=440 is almost history, by the way... found this on a violinist forum
Lots of orchestras tune to 442. According to a well known orchestral violinist I know, Boston Symphony Orchestra tunes to 444, NY Phil tunes to 443, and Berlin Phil tunes to 445. I personally really don't like 440 - I tune usually to 443 or 444 when I practice.
(Played the violin in a symphony orchestra myself for 15 years when I was younger)... Anyway, I last wrote a post in this thread some 6 months ago, wishing them luck in finding the flight recorders. Iīm very disappointed that they havenīt so far.. but thatīs just the way it is for the moment.
