There is not actually a standard pitch throughout the world, however, the most common tuning in the United States for most instruments, including pianos, is 440 Hz at the note A4, which is most commonly known as A440. Any stringed instrument will sound "in tune" when the strings of that instrument vibrate at frequencies that correspond directly to a standard pitch. There are an infinite number of possible pitches and any pitch chosen will require a musical scale formed, mathematically. Since most people use A440 as their standard, it is the goal of a piano technician to provide a tuned piano at this pitch. This also provides the opportunity to play along with other musicians who are tuning their instruments to that same pitch.
Some pianos that have not been tuned in many years and have built up rust on the strings and coils have a higher chance of string breakage. Depending on how far below standard pitch the piano is, the piano strings can be tuned to a pitch closer to where the piano strings are currently, as to not cause more strain on the strings and possibly cause less string breakage. This option will be determined at the time of tuning.
At United Piano, I tune pianos to A440, unless a musician specifies they'd like to have the piano tuned to another pitch. I can tune to any pitch you decide.
