i'm not smart with this stuff either but at the center of my tuner it says 440... i dono if that the hz or whatever your talkin about. pretty sad i've never noticed that until now... but i think if you tune it to a lower frequency you'd be a little flat vs sharp... i dono

Concert pitch is 440Hz. That's where you want it.

I'm almost sure instruments are tuned to a pure A note, which has a frequency of 440Hz.
