Ron, I have the pleasure of having a Baldwin SD at 442 - ready for this requirement. Usually, I find that orchestras from Europe are the ones requesting this. When they see the Baldwin, almost all of them scoff at first - and then after some prodding and encouraging to play it, they're ok with it - it's at 442, and even though it's not a Steinway(usually a requirement in their rider), the piano is a darn good one. Yes, I have a Steinway D at 440 at the hall also...like Horace said, it's been done. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
