Hello Knowledgeable Finale-ists,

As part of a conversation with a pianist friend today, we both were
wondering why Concert Pitch A in America is 440 Hz and different in
Europe. He said when he was touring in Europe, he had to request the
American 440 Hz tuning and if the piano was tuned to the European
standard, the other performers had a hard time playing.

I know that in the last 500-odd years the range has been 440 plus or
minus about 50 Hz. Does anyone on the list know how America came to have
440 and Europe has a different frequency?
