Anyone tuning at 432hz?

[Frank Tuesday]

We're all overlooking the obvious rebuttal to this. If 432 is supposed to be superior to standard 440 just because it is divisible by 8, which is supposed to have some connection to an earthly frequency, then think about what you get when you add another 8 to 432.

It isn't that. A432 comes from C256. 8Hz (claimed Schumann resonance) is "C-1" , which means that C4 is 256Hz. Using just intonation, the major 6th (A4) has a ratio of 27/16, which is 432Hz. Of course this relies upon using just intonation, not even tempered. So if the earth natural frequency was 8Hz, and you're tuning in 12-tone equal temperament, you should actually tune to A430.54. Only then with your C be in tune with the earth. But 8Hz is just an approximation of the Schumann resonance. If we use 7.83Hz as the Schumann resonance, and consider even temperament, A4 should be 421.39Hz.

Let just round that to 420 and get happy./

I wish there was such a thing as Earth natural frequency. We could then start huge engines rotating at this frequency and make the Earth resonate more and more. At some point, we would probably all start bouncing and maybe, just maybe, make it crack, shatter, explode, whatever.

Some people weren't paying attention during the physics class...
