Ricard,

Hudson Valley Philharmonic A=440 


>Sorry to be having so much time to waste this week in Washington, but it is a
fact. 
>So, let me pester you a little more.
>
>Would all of you please try to provide  information on the Concert Pitch of
your
>local
>orchestras?  It would be very helpful as general information to us all.
>
>Hint:  the local orchestra manager "should know".  If he/she does not, and if
you
>happen to know or can determine the name of the principal wood wind players,
call
>them.  They are the most pitch sensitive and will doubtlessly know
immediately
>the
>answer to your question.
>
>String players don't really care as long as it creeps "higher and
higher"...in
>a never
>ending spiral toward the heavens.
>
>The winds however react with great disdain to such capers...preferring an
absolute
>pitch.

>Bye and thanks again for your help,
