[CAUT] A440, once again...

[G Cousins]

Jim,
In the C&A department we maintained inventory  441 making an easy transition up or down.
Don't know if this may help in your case.
I'd also ask the instrumentalists (oboe, strings etc) their thoughts

All,

 

Once again there is a push here at BYU to set A442 as our
pitch standard. The Director of the School of Music is behind it, and is also
the Philharmonic Orch conductor. The problem I see is that most guest artists
specify A440. Sooooo… if someone visits we’ll have to drop down,
then back up, back down, up, down… I’m getting dizzy just thinking
about it.

 

Any strong arguments against? Or am I just “bein’
contrary” as my kinfolk would say?? 

 

Thanks.

Jim Busby BYU
