Oboe reeds that are good "crow" a "c", but with a certain type of sound.

Pitch was NOT "standardized" prior to sometime in the '30's (even though the big official A=440 thing occurred in the 191X's). There were those who played very high and those who played at other pitch levels. The overall trend however, viewing old instruments, seems to be a "creeping up" of pitch.
