This is true, but in drop tunings (and most alternate guitar tunings) the instrument is still usually tuned to 440 Hz - each string is just tuned to a different note in a 440 Hz scale.
- colomon 10y agoIt's a somewhat interesting question. One of my favorite recent albums [1] is at A = 366Hz. That's literally the case (the A string on the fiddle is tuned to 366Hz), but of course you could argue the whole thing is transposed down a minor third and then tuned to A = 435 or so.
