I'm interested in hearing the explanation for that. Maybe Ron N can explain it.

One thing I've noted when moving the pitch on S&S Ds is that the 
higher you go the worse the "killer octave" gets. I've been keeping a 
D in a poorly controlled climate at 441 because concert lighting and 
audience temperature change are more then enough to pull it down to 
440 or even lower. We had it at 442 for a while but octaves five 
and six sure sound a lot better lower at 441 even better at 440 or 
lower.
