  So we tune to 442, then play at 443.  It is very strange.



Is it really that big a deal if the group is 3 cents higher than the
arbitrary pitch?  As long as everyone is in tune with each other...

BTW I got an accompaniment CD for the David, and it states the tuning note
is A=442, not that that means anything.
