Which instrument is sometimes used by a symphony orchestra to set the pitch for the other instruments in the orchestra?
Orchestras are usually tuned to an Oboe. The open note, (that is, the note an oboe plays without any fingering), is an A, and the orchestra tunes best to that note. When a piano is featured as solo instrument, the orchestra tunes to the A of the piano, because it's easier for them to adjust their pitch than for the piano.
