as well, I should add with great emphasis!!
Hmm, Ok, it seems that the piano techs have been persuaded to come up halfway to 442. It is a start, or the nose of a camel. It may be that the piano techs could do something to half the willy nilly sharpening that has no end. Those "pitchers" will eventually sharpen the stardard to the next note up, gradually pushing C88 beyond its breaking point. So, we just forget the C and end on a B. No problem
Temperaments? They are out there, but rarely noticed.
