::::::: I can't really add anything to the conversation, but I believe the reason why C is used so much is because we're all familiar with the diatonic scales in 12EDO, which is usually on C. Thus, because of C261.626 being engraved into our heads, we just have a bunch of notations based off of C. I don't know if this is right in other countries (rather than America/Mexico/Canada/UK/Britan/etc), but that's just how I see it. --[[User:CritDeathX|CritDeathX]] ([[User talk:CritDeathX|talk]]) 17:04, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

:::::::: For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch#History_of_pitch_standards_in_Western_music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440_(pitch_standard) I was unable to locate a wikipedia article about any sort of C-based standard pitch, but please correct me if you are aware of one. In the USA, you can pick up a land line and hear 440 Hz. Working off and on as a semi-professional musician, I have only ever encountered people who used an A standard, which was overwhelmingly A4=440 Hz. Even in microtuning groups, there seems to be a large portion of people who refer to an A standard, even if there are quite a few prominent people who argue that a C standard would be better. Being that we are in a mindset of challenging every tuning standard, I always assumed that the push to use a C standard instead was something to do with electronic music being more convenient to make that way. Again, I probably assumed incorrectly. --[[User:Bozu|Bozu]] ([[User talk:Bozu|talk]]) 18:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
