Mark Wadsworth: Tesco tills are in the key of A#

Sunday, 17 May 2020

The three notes I can pick out are A#, C and D. If anybody has more info or background, I'd love to know it!

Mark Wadsworth said...: SM, you've jogged my memory now. I remember a guitarist in Germany who would pick up the phone and listen to the dialling tone, which I think was 440A.; 18 May 2020 at 11:46

Mark Wadsworth said...: Din, you'd need an A as well for that, I can only hear A#, C and D.; 18 May 2020 at 14:34
George Carty said...: Why did you say A# rather than (the far more commonly used) B-flat?; 19 May 2020 at 07:30
