With Concert Pitch (1/1) being C4@256Hz, Eb4[7] = 7/6 = (298+2/3)Hz serves nicely as the tonic in [[Rational_Comma_Notation_(RCN)|Rational Comma Notation (RCN). ]]Originally, Young tuned his "A", 189/128, to 440Hz, giving Eb of (297+187/189)Hz. These two pitches are less than 0.7Hz apart, a difference that can be essentially ignored, unless you're playing along to a recording with the same reference pitch, or feel like giving an officially sanctioned performance of the WTP (yeah right.)
