A=440 is the world standard unless you play in the Berlin Philharmonic.

I swear certain records I've played along to at home have musicians tuned to something other than A440 -- it's not off enough to be a semitone. Do bands do that just to cement their status as prats?

Thank you so much for that guy's Can now set it as should be
In the days before the tuner anything went if there was no piano. When I bought my first tuner we found out we were almost a tone sharp tuning to each other by ear for weeks on end. My ear's a lot more accurate now. Not perfect pitch but good enough.Originally Posted by Eric

Fair point.
A large chunk of music I listen to (and what I was referring to) is 90s and later, so I imagine they had digital tuners by then.

They probably did but there's also the thing that some producers would alter the speed of the track for effect. In those days you couldn't do that without changing the pitch. You can now. In fact nobody even has to sing or play in tune at all these days (see: Pop Idol et al).Originally Posted by Eric

Pretty much anything recorded to tape stands a chance of being off by a few cents.
