If the pipes were a true whole tone below concert pitch (concert F) it would
be A=392 (IIRC). A semitone below (F#) is A=415 - the pitch standard usually
adopted by modern Baroque orchestras and performing groups. A=405 is another
"standard" for some baroque players.
Unfortunately "F-and-a-bit" traditional pitch seems to vary somewhat between
ten and twenty cents sharp of concert F, so it will be about A=400-405 give
or take a few cycles/second.
Can anyone with better maths than me give a completely accurate answer?
Though normal variation of bag-pressure will always make a few cycles'
difference.

Can someone please tell me if with concert pitch A=440Hz what is the
frequency of A with traditional pitch? If it is that simple!
