There wasn't any indication as to whether or not the control was detented or not, but it is always possible that a recording is off-pitch, so these things can be quite useful. (smile) Luckily, my late Angel-Bride, and my Fiance are musicians with Perfect Pitch and it helps--they'll be the first to complain if a record, singer, or instrumentalist is making them uncomfortable by being off-pitch.

It would help you if the key of the piece is also in A, and also that it's slow. Such a recording might be the one by Sviatoslav Richter of Schubert's Sonata D. 664. Whether you like this or not isn't the point; which is rather that you can compare the relative pitches of your tuning fork and the piano, and use your ear, [or the ear of somebody good at these things such as a piano tuner], to adjust your turntable's speed. It might not be perfect to the highest standards of revolution, but if done accurately, it should be good enough to ensure pretty reasonable accuracy.
