Re: OT: high-precision tuner app

[Olivier Biot]

Isn't that related to the independent church organ tunings back then: the higher they were tuned, the brigher they sounded in a church. Sadly, the human voice cannot be tuned up the same way an organ can...

See e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgelton (in German).

Why are they almost unsingable? They were sung at the time they were
written. Did the human voice get higher since?

Just curious.
