I'm new to the instrument, but I've been a musician all my life. I play mostly in guitar bands where everyone tunes to A=440 Hz using an electronic tuner.

I see that most marimbas are tuned to A=442 Hz. What's with that? Don't they sound sharp? Do all of the other instruments in the ensemble usually tune higher than A=440 to match the marimba?
