That's far too limited a range, a mere half tone. In Leipzig alone in Bach's day, there was a standard chorton (probably about 440) and a standard kammerton a whole tone lower. This is why some of the instrumental parts for Bach's cantatas are transposed. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
