Hello Hans Illich, good calculation, but A-5000 corresponds to a 4-times smaller E-flat 0,44% sharp, if we take A=440 as the base.
Based upon A=440: E-flat=311,13 the corresponding fraction of 5000 be 312,50 which is 0,44% sharp. This E-flat near 5000 Hz would be 22Hz sharp and be in the 5th octave = E-flat´´´´´ thus exceeding most peoples hearing capabilities. Or explained musically: two octaves higher than the notated high E-flat, written with 3 ledger lines above staff in concert notation (=sound as written). It might be notated as trebble clef plus "octava 2" above or similar. It would also mean, that A-5000 does not exist, if we go after human naming of pitches. Mei liawa ! Oba bist guad im kalkulian.
