(Rich Wales) writes about musical relationships of DTMF frequencies.

Perhaps the more musically useful Telecom tone is precise (digital) dial tone,
which uses 350 and 440 Hz. The higher of these tones is US standard concert A
(middle A).  There have been many times I have been away from home, or other
source of musical reference, and have picked up a phone to get an "A" to
help tune a guitar or keyboard.
