Yeah, but that's always the best you can do without an external note. And if there are no external notes around, you could argue it's all that matters;)

- dec0dedab0de 9y agoEspecially since A=440 is arbitrary to begin with.
- olympus 9y agoIt starts out arbitrary but becomes useful once everyone agrees with it, like measuring distance in meters- which has gone through several definitions, none of which make much sense in terms of being based on a natural constant and using a nice round numbers as a coefficient. If four instruments are following the standard and one is a bit flat because "A-440 Hz is arbitrary" then the whole band sounds like a mess.
