Baroque recorders & other tunings:

Modern recorders are most commonly pitched at concert pitch (A=440 Hz), like modern pianos and orchestral instruments.


However, among serious amateurs and professionals, other pitch standards are commonly found. For the performance of baroque music, A=415Hz is the de facto standard while pre-Baroque music is often performed at A=440Hz or A=466Hz. These pitch standards are intended to reflect the broad variation in pitch standards throughout the history of the recorder. In various regions, contexts, and time periods, pitch standards have varied from A=~392Hz to A=~520Hz. The pitches A=415Hz and A=466Hz, a semitone lower and a semitone higher than A=440Hz respectively, were chosen because they may be used with harpsichords or chamber organs which transpose up or down a semitone from A=440. These pitch standards allow recorder players to collaborate with other instrumentalists at a pitch other than A=440 Hz.
