The concertmaster (or concertmistress) plays an A - the note all strings tune to.
Playing a B flat to tune band instruments requires the A string to be tuned first, and then the first finger to be in the exact right position.
The concertmaster/concertmistress is the head of the orchestra, so they have the honor of playing the tuning note.

Concert A off of his/her 'A' string.
1st chair violin is also known as the concertmaster. Tradition calls for it. He is usually the most accomplished musician in the orchestra -- with the best 'ear' (or the best electronic tuner, ha ha).
The bad thing about concert A, is... some instruments (e.g. trombone) can't tune to 'A'.
