What leads you so say that! You have had no supporting statements,
much less documentation and in fact, your documentation and the things
that you choose to say support that it had nothing at all to do with
it much less being the cause of it. They are simply not related! Or at
least they are not related by anything that you have said.

See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch
In 1859, the French government passed a law setting A = 435 Hz, which
became popular outside of France.

In your example above with the condescending implication, if you take
one of the mixed contexts, the Piano, you are talking about the heavy
strings with a very long length and the lighter strings with a very
short length.

One makes strings longer relative to thickness in order to decrease
inharmonicity. That is why concert grands are the longest, in order to
get them mingle better with the orchestra.

Sorry, this is just a bit too much. Still another context, the most
unrelated one so far! The saturation point of unrelated factoids taken
out of context has been reached. Chris Claven is alive and well!
