For what it's worth, some recorder makers are no longer making recorders
pitched at 440. They have bumped the pitch up to 442. At the Von Huene
Workshop, they told me that 442 is becoming the standard concert pitch in
Europe.

Nice article, Ron.
I agree, in that there is no definitive pitch. We seem to have
settled on 440 vs. 415 as standards of modern vs baroque, but what
about 460, or 392? With the lute, a few sources state to tune the
treble to just before it breaks, and that is where one starts.
I am wondering, has anybody on the list read some of the arguments
about changing the modern pitch standard as a + 432?
