I wrote right after that I meant a435.  I did a typo in my first email.  =
Sorry.  It is written inside the piano on the medal plate beside the =
Sohmer symbol.  This is a piano made back in 1890.    I knew to check =
because a gentleman I called who rebuilds pianos told me to check inside =
to see if it was written or engraved, "A435"  and it was.  I did a =
history search and most composers including Chopin composed songs in a =
435 pitch.  It was around the time of WW2 that the 440 became =
universally accepted. Before that 435 was most common but there was =
other pitches that were accepted as well.  =
