Hello! Does anybody know what pitch was used in Paris (France) in ~1860? I have a Pleyel upright from that time, under restoration, and tuned it 1/2 step low of 440. It sounded awful. But tuned at 440 it is much nicer. I should add that it has also a really short scale, so I suspect they were using a pretty high pitch.
