(See appendix 2.)Īs for other countries, and other styles of music, and indeed those artists and ensembles in the U.S.A. And the standard pitch used in Britain for orchestral and dance music at that time ( circa 1900 – 1950) was A=439, a trivial difference, so that the same tests can be used pretty safely for both countries. Overall, the statement: ‘Pianos in recording locations, whether permanent or temporary, were, in general, tuned to standard pitch’ is a reasonable one, and likely to be true far more often than not.Īnd what actually is this standard pitch? As far as the U.S.A. goes, the note A (the one above middle C on the piano) should be 440 Hz, usually written as A=440. And if a piano had somehow been tuned very sharp, a clarinet would simply not be able to get up to that pitch at all. In any case, if for example, a piano had been allowed to become very flat in pitch, it would be difficult for wind instruments – the clarinet in particular – to ‘get down’ to the pitch of the piano without becoming out of tune with itself. So in general our assumption that the pianos are tuned to standard pitch is valid as a starting point. This is quite a different thing from the piano being tuned to the wrong pitch altogether. However, these are probably pianos that are simply rather out of tune with themselves, and sound ‘ploingy’ as a result. Of course, there are instances of ‘below-par’ pianos to be found on some Jazz and dance records of this period. He agreed strongly, pointing out that the major record companies (Victor, HMV, Columbia, Brunswick, Vocalion, Odeon, OKeh &c.) were large concerns, recording the most prominent international artistes, and the use of first-class pianos was to be expected, and therefore, for pitching purposes, that assumption was valid, tenable indeed, unavoidable. Davies, the doyen of 78 rpm record restorers, whether this assumption was acceptable. It primarily rested with the piano, of course, and the assumption that this would be tuned to a standard pitch. However, these tests were only valid for Jazz and dance records made in the U.S.A. and Britain in the 1920s through to about the mid-1930s and even then, only when the band included a piano. I understood that well known trumpet players had gone into the problem, and that, surprisingly, there was still no general agreement.Ī few years ago, I became interested in selecting the correct pitch for early Jazz and dance band records, and found that by applying a few simple tests, it was – usually – possible to be fairly sure of the correct speed at which to play a 78 rpm record, so that it would come out at the correct pitch. It had been discussed in the correspondence columns of Jazz magazines possibly articles had been written about it, and it had certainly been talked about quite a bit. This problem had apparently been around for some years. The doubt specifically concerned the original version of it, which he had recorded with the Hot Five for OKeh early in 1926. Over the years, I had occasionally heard that some doubt existed as to the correct key for Louis Armstrong’s tune of this name. Other acknowledgements will be found at the foot of the text.
