YOUR LOCAL ORCHESTRA'S CONCERT PITCH. WHAT IS IT?

Could 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,
