I used to insist on A440 and had my former Yamahas (A442) retuned. Now, however, with almost every manufacturer except Marimba One changing to A442, I am more accepting.

As I understand it, the Deagan IMSO "King George" (1935/36) marimba was tuned with a minor 3rd. Michael Rosen (Oberlin) had Adams tune a set of bars with the minor 3rd, but was apparently not satisfied with the result.
