Should bands be tuned to the percussion section using A440 or to the Principal Cornet player?
Nadia said:why should everyone tune to 440? as long as everyone is in tune with each other, and the shedbuilders don't get in the way of the music too muchyou can produce a different overall band sound by tuning slightly sharp or flat.

Nadia said:its not illegal to play at any other pitch though. if it was, players with *beep* intonation would be arrested, and we would have no band movement. most bands play flat anyway and are well below 440.
