PTG did confirm support of A-440 as an international standard. I think it was at the Las Vegas International Convention. Board policy also defines rebuilt and reconditioned pianos. About standards, I have asked several piano manufactrers about quality control standards that they use before pianos are shipped to dealers. They usually laugh and say something to the effect that if a dealer wants it and it fits into the crate, it goes out the door.
