    Nov 3 2026
    Why does an oboe sound an A before an orchestra begins? Everyday Origins follows the concertmaster's tuning cue, the open A string, and the changing history behind A440. The note gives musicians a common starting point; they keep listening and adjusting throughout the performance.
