I check all my new harps for playing with the "Irish brigade" round here to make sure that they're no higher than A442, and preferably A441, which is about ideal to my ear.   Those who have to tune all tune to A440 on their cheapie tuners.  I don't think most of them have come across the idea of calibration. ;-) 

Sorry, I cluttered up your inbox by accident there, Winslow.
