IMS, technically, they can have different reeds with them so they can tune to a piano or an organ or somesuch, but indeed: When doing a gig with an orchestra (me on the organ), the oboe player was well grumpy initially, and explained what a hard time she had with this. Me, I don't really know what the problem is, but at a guess: they're not bringing 60 reeds to cater for a whole range of to-be-expected tuning standards. Edit: had used the word "fleece" for "reed".

Haven't watched the vid, but if the C=512, then the A can well be 432, depending on the system. The nonsense is not in the arithmetics, but in the taking random frequencies as being somehow "better".

A kind BCer has again offered to match your donations so we could get to £8,500. Donate, peeps!

UPDATE: We found a little cavity! Yup, it's just big enough for your pecunial denaros!

One point of a four might be that (if true) one never gets "that" low E timbre from a five. Just throwing this in: I have no idea myself, but this was said by a producer in a well-known studio. Me, I'd imagine that a wider neck's stiffness would indeed change the timbre, but you guys must know a lot more about this than I do.
