When I asked about the tuning pitch for our Coinola K everyone agreed
it should be tuned to A=435 Hz and that turned out to be correct. In
side comments, I was told all nickelodeons of the 1920s would be A=435
except for Nelson-Wiggen who tuned to A=440 Hz.
We now are into our Western Electric Style X and the Deagan xylophone
clearly says A=440, so I assume if that is so then we should tune the
piano to match. Does this mean all Western Electric were tuned A=440?
