What's everyones take on this? Do you think they recorded at that tuning or edited the songs later?

I'm curious what their point is. Do they realize Tenor C is 528hz? And that tape's pitch especially little shitty decks like even Lennon would've had at his house, didn't have constant pitch to begin with. AND....that any time there's a piano (especially one so out of tune)--everyone tunes to IT, just because it can't be tuned during the session. My bass or guitar can.

It works out to be 444 tuning, isn't that concert tuning for orchestras? or 443? Lennon seemed closer to Tenor than anything else so why wouldn't they down tune to accomodate his personal style?

I think the point is certain music is more pleasing to the ear in different tunings. Take this test, for myself I prefer different genres in different tunings.

That's about as scientific as a taste test using your fingers. Two of them were 1 semitone apart, not 8 cents.
As for the Lennon tuning thing. ROTFLMAO!

String sections usually tune to 442, but some orchestras tune higher for a brighter sound. It's less about pitch and more about string tension changing the character of the sound.

I thought 442 was more of a Europe thing, no?

... from Wikipedia....
A440 is widely used as concert pitch in United Kingdom[3] and the United States. In continental Europe the frequency of the A is commonly 442 Hz and 443 Hz.[4][5]

West of Ireland, born and raised! Wandered the planes for 40 days and 440Hz and came back an ornery, cantankerous old man stuck in the body of a man in his 20's.  |

As far as i know, tunings for A have been all over the place in a really wide range since there are orchestras.....
Someone once told me, the orchestras are in a real competition to tune higher (to make strings sound "better" i.e. more brilliant in the treble) with all kind of tunings, a bit of "tuning wars", kind of...
This 432 thing is hilariously esoteric. I did not even watch this vid, they are all the same. If you think 431/432 sounds better, because this is more "natural".... it is always a psychological trick playing with expectations, the kind of sequencing the tunings, volume, or generally: manipulation of any kind.

the thing has a knob.
a free thinking person has the freedom to turn it till it sounds good.
why people put a second more thought into it than that will for eternity be a mystery to me.
