Re: A = 440 Hz OR 432 Hz?

haha always some chaos/improvisation to allow for probability in what "works" and "doesn't".  My point about the monopoly of recorded music is more in reference to a standard and yes the invention of the digital tuner.  Of course people showed up and played in whatever tuning they felt like especially drunk rock stars, I can imagine Mick Jagger telling the keyboard player to change to his pitch...

...and it isn't a secret either that the ever changing reference pitch
of guitar tunings on AC/DC records can be traced back to the shape,
tuning-wise, of the particular guitar carried by the particular
guitarist who was the first to arrive at the studio that particular
morning each particular track was recorded.
