Opinions do vary. Historically, symphony orchestra very rarely was tuned to 440 -- it was 451 at the famous La Scala opera in Milan, and the tuning fork Handel used was 422.5 and scientific pitch is 430.5 (whoa, this gets boring..)

Anyway, it was the brits who first standardised "the new low pitch" to 439 in the late 19th century but it wasn't good enough for germans so in 1939 new "concert pitch" was agreed at 440
