i have a KORG chromatic tuner CA-30 and iwas wondering what the different calibration levels mean. i have it set on 446Hz right now, what does this mean and what should it be set at?

Well, 440 Hz is middle A (and is the tuning note for orchestras and such), so I think it's supposed to be set on that. I don't have a chromatic tuner though, so I'll let someone who does chime in.

440 is standard concert pitch, you shouldn't fuck with this at all.
