I know only one piece of in formation about this but that leads me to believe that the
change was gradual with Conn, at least. I have a 1912 Conn large Eb with a duplex
tuning slide, playing either pitch. My 1918 Conn smaller Eb did not have this type
of slide so I suspect the question was settled with Conn by 1918. Since my memory of
the convention is pitch at 440 was settled in 1912, I suspect Conn was aware it was
impending then and a fact by 1918 or earlier. Or maybe not.
