Instrument Re-tuning

Attention all music students! We have received an urgent notice from the Department of Education regarding a global steel shortage. This shortage is impacting the manufacturing of musical instruments. As a result, all newly produced instruments will be constructed with less steel, leading to a slight change in their fundamental pitch.

To ensure uniformity and compatibility across all ensembles, effective immediately, all instruments must be adjusted to a new standard tuning of one quarter of a semitone higher than our current A=440Hz.

Please bring your instruments to the Music Office during recess today for a mandatory tuning adjustment. Failure to comply may result in difficulties playing in ensembles. Thank you for your cooperation.
