You may be aware that baroque instruments tune to A=415 -- even worse! :) But it's a half-step lower than A=440 so maybe it wouldn't sound wrong to you. Also,

You may be aware that baroque instruments tune to A=415 -- even worse! :) But it's a half-step lower than A=440 so maybe it wouldn't sound wrong to you.
