I have retired from piano tuning so I don't update the page much, but thank you for all the visits. There is one question that I hope some readers might be able to answer though.
I have been involved in the campaign to restore the lower tuning of C=256, or A=432, as recommended by Giuseppe Verdi. Most of the great classical masterworks were written for the lower pitch, and it makes a tremendous difference over A=440 +, especially for the human voice.

Medical tuning forks are usually at the lower pitch, such as C=256. My question is this: Is that just because they were established when the pitch was lower, and saw no reason to change as musical "standard pitch" rose? Or, is there a physcal reason for it? Does it resonate better with the human body, in tissues and bones?
