Comment on Let me just tune up real quick
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 week agoI understand your point, but isn’t an orchestra ACTUALLY tuned to 440 (or 442 sometimes), because it’s usually a violin or oboe they’re tuning from? Like yeah, my bass isn’t going to be at 440, but the pitch I’m listening to while tuning is 440.

You’re right. Orchestras often tune to the oboe, because it can’t easily be tuned and usually stays in tune in conditions that would make other instruments go out of tune.

Cool - thanks for the sanity check.
