:::::::: 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)

::::::::: I'm probably the one that's assuming incorrectly. Admittedly, I'm basing this thought off of my own experiences, so I probably shouldn't even be talking about it. To be frank, I wasn't aware that much people used A440 as a root note. Thanks for clarifying things for me. --[[User:CritDeathX|CritDeathX]] ([[User talk:CritDeathX|talk]]) 18:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
