What pitch do American bands tune to and why? Just randomly wondering, because when I played with an American band on tour down here we didn't tune (for some reason) and it sounded out. We tuned to concert A 440 and they sounded higher than us.
So, am I just skeptical or is there some difference in tuning?

A 440 is the international standard, unless you're playing period instruments.

Quote from: wikipedia
In the period instrument movement, a consensus has arisen around a modern "baroque pitch" for strings (Kammerton) of 415 Hz, baroque for wind instruments and church voices (Chorton) at 466 Hz and "classical pitch" at 430 Hz
I don't know how accurate those frequencies are, but yeah.

Maybe they just didn't tune correctly, lol.
