some folks want to go to A-432!
 
What do you do then???!!!
 
(I don't think this is going to fly, but occassionally you do see a performance
at "Verdi" pitch, pitched.)
 
Either way, owners of instruments pitched at A-440 are going to have to modify or
buy new instruments to perform at other pitches.
 
I am thinking of pitching our concert grands at A-441 because they often go down
in pitch when the lights come on. When I do my touch ups after a rehearsal, then
the pianos are a bit flat, like A=439.6. :-] And you know, people will talk about
that sort of thing. (LOL). I could go on and on, but I won't.
