speaking of tuning, which do you all prefer on your marimba. 440 or 442?

from what i gather, the marimba is tuned to partial harmonics. the root, 10th, and octave above. is this correct? the 10th, or major 3rd one octave above the root.

and would it be possible to have the partials tuned to a minor 3rd instead of the major 3rd(10th). or would this not sound correct?

i'm just curious to see if a tuning like this would make a marimba sound warmer/darker overall.

thanks a lot,
mike
