A440 is not as universal as you’d think. Tunings as low as A435 and as high as A466 are in use even today. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440_(pitch_standa

- Bud 6y ago"As low as A=435"? The reality is much stranger! Baroque groups such as Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and American Bach Soloists, and many others, routinely perform at A=415, which is the standard accepted "Baroque" pitch these days. Earlier music is sometimes performed down around A=390.
