Re: A = 440 Hz OR 432 Hz?

Its true that Western ears hear so called micro-tunings as out of tune.

Agree: yes, even some of those who play "out" music. It's just 
unfamiliarity, (it
      took me years to "get" Thai classical music.)

Disagree: church organ, violin/viol family, choral, orchestra(if no piano 
involved)
 none of those play in equal temperament, and they aren't known for out of 
tuneness.
 It's a "textbook/academic thing" that equal temperament is(or was ever) 
ubiquitous,
 not even Bach used it.
