High-pitch accordion tunings (442, 443) are designed for egomaniacs who want to stand out over everybody else in a large loud band. They sound fucking horrible with normally tuned fixed-pitch instruments.

There is one session I don't go to any more because it's dominated by an accordionist who tunes sharp - very few of the instruments I play can tune that high and it makes my head hurt trying.
