Wow, I'm impressed with the really high level of discussion here. I have nothing of worth to add but it is a real treat to read what you all have written.

@feudiable No the Barock pitch isn't a=415Hz either. We call the 415Hz the Frans Brüggen Pitch. He came with that. What we see is that part aswell that the original Telemann sonatas triosonatas and the concertos where te recorder is used and most of the time Telemann used the Obenländer 412Hz or the Denner 410 Hz recorders. The Obenländer and the Denners look like each other, because they are coming from the same region in Germany.

@feudiable NO SIR.i do not have absolute pitch.i am an mediocre musician.i was just curious and iv always loved G.P.TEL.The thing is,many of my favorite rock bands tune down a semi-tone.i think it might sound more natural to some people.also better vocally,an overall thicker sound.thanx for the info

[feudiable]

@diagreen do you have an absolute pitch? telemann was a composer of the baroque era, when they tuned their instuments on about a'=415Hz. today we tune our instruments on a'=440Hz. the difference between those frequencies just a semitone. today many baroque orchestras tune still (or again) their instruments on a'=415Hz, thats why you might hear Db minor instead of D minor.

great but sounds Db???
