Some late baroque-period harpsichords had a selectable A: you could chose ~430, ~410, or ~390. The adjustment came from sliding the keyboards to the left or right based on which A you wanted. Supposedly A = 390 or even lower was used by the French in the renaissance, so you wanted your harpsichord to be able to accurately play historical music.
