In general people tend to play slightly sharp, in order to give greater projection. You often find now that in an orchestra whose oboist tunes at A=440, the harpist will tune to A=441 in order to keep up to the pitch that the orchestra actually plays at. It is due to similar reasons that piano concertos are harder to keep in tune than most other pieces.
