Before I begin transferring some brass band records, a question about pitching 
and keys. A disc labelled "Dvorak's Slavonic Dance #8 in g minor" plays closest 
to F#. Anderson's "Bugler's Holiday" plays in B. Actually they're both slightly 
off but these are the closest actual keys (no more than 1% off)..just want to 
know if they're probably correct. The discs date from the mid fifties.
