Really?! I've always been taught (including by music teachers) that the
"la" (as we call it, in a much nicer way than simple letters :)) ) was
440Hz, and that it was such everywhere, by international agreement (I
wonder if it's not part of the SI specifications...). I've never heard of a
French "la" of 415Hz, even for classical orchestras... Not that it's
impossible, but I think my music teacher would have mentioned it.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
