A = 432Hz = C = 256 Hz = more healing frequencies that vibrate in harmony with the earth and time?

Why is it I, and many others, tend to naturally tune to A = 432Hz? I never liked A440 all that much, always had a tendency to detune slightly but not all the way to E flat, which is another nice alternative to A = 440 Hz. Hendrix.


A = 432 Hz, Is it more healing, more "in tune" with the earth.

Vivaldi was a proponent of A = 432Hz, Wagner A440. The Four Seasons vs The Flight Of The Valkyries, made popular by Apocalypse Now.

A = 440 Hz was adopted somewhat universally on the eve of WWII. More strident, more warlike.

A = 432 Hz = A string 5h fret harmonic = 528 Hz, the solfeggio frequency for DNA repair.

As in it is quite possibly even more healing to play in Vivaldi's tuning.

Here are the freqs for A = 432 Hz for guitar and bass.

Guitar Tuning
A=432

E, 81 hz (6th string)
A, 108 hz (5th string)
D, 144 hz (4th string)
G, 193 hz (3rd string)
B, 242 hz (2nd string)
E, 323 hz (1st string)


Bass Guitar Tuning
A=432

E, 41 hz (4th string)
A, 54 hz (3rd string)
D, 72 hz (2nd string)
G, 96 hz (1st string)


What are the Solfeggio frequencies?
healing-frequencies-h2.jpg


Solfeggio frequencies make up the ancient 6-tone scale thought to have been used in sacred music, including the beautiful and well known Gregorian Chants. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart spiritual blessings when sung in harmony. Each Solfeggio tone is comprised of a frequency required to balance your energy and keep your body, mind and spirit in perfect harmony.

The main six Solfeggio frequencies are:
396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
741 Hz – Expression/Solutions
852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

They were used in over 150 Gregorian Chants
Where do these tones come from?
According to Professor Willi Apel, the origin of the ancient Solfeggio scale can be traced back to a Medieval hymn to John the Baptist. The hymn has this peculiarity that the first six lines of the music commenced respectively on the first six successive notes of the scale, and thus the first syllable of each line was sung to a note one degree higher that the first syllable of the line that preceded it. Because the music held mathematic resonance, the original frequencies were capable of spiritually inspiring mankind to be more “god-kind”.

The original Solfeggio scale was developed by a Benedictine monk, Guido d’Arezzo (c. 991 AD – c. 1050 AD). It was used by singers to learn chants and songs more easily. Today we know the Solfeggio scale as seven ascending notes assigned to the syllables Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti. The original scale was six ascending notes assigned to Ut-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La. The syllables for the scale were taken from a hymn to St. John the Baptist, Ut Queant Laxis, written by Paulus Diaconus.
In the mid-1970’s Dr. Joseph Puleo, a physician and America’s leading herbalist, found six electro-magnetic sound frequencies that corresponded to the syllables from the hymn to St. John the Baptist.

How were the frequencies discovered?
According to the documentation provided in “Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse“, Dr. Joseph Puleo was introduced, through an open vision, to the Pythagorean method of numeral reduction. Using this method, he discovered the pattern of six repeating codes in the Book of Numbers, Chapter 7, verses 12 through 83.

pythagoras.jpg
The Pythagorean method is a simple reduction method, used to turn big numbers into single digits. The values of all digits in the number are added up. When after the first addition the number still contains more than one digit,the process is repeated.Here’s an example:456 can be reduced to 4+5+6 = 15, and subsequently reduced to 1+5=6. So the number 456 reduces eventually to the single digit 6.
Dr. Joseph Puleo found repetitions of a single issue or subject in the Book of Numbers. In Chapter 7, verse 12 he found a reference to the first day, the second day was mentioned in verse 18, the third day in verse 24, and so forth until the final reference in verse 78 which is speaking of the twelfth day.

The Pythagorean reduction of these verse numbers is:

Verse 12 = 1 + 2 = 3Verse 18 = 1 + 8 = 9Verse 24 = 2 + 4 = 6Verse 30 = 3 + 0 = 3Verse 36 = 3 + 6 = 9Verse 42 = 4 + 2 = 6…until verse 78
Do you see the repetition of 396? This is the first frequency.

He found the next frequency by looking at verse 13, which is speaking of an offering. Six verses down, which is verse 19, the same offering or idea is repeated, six verses down at verse 25 there is another repeat, etc. Thus, by using the Pythagorean method of reduction, again he discovered a pattern. This pattern is 417. It is the second frequency. The rest of the frequencies were found using the same method.

The secret meanings of the ancient syllables
solfeggio-syllables.jpg


Each tone has its own unique potential
As you already know, the syllables used to denote the tones are: Ut, Re, Mi Fa, Sol, La. They were taken from the first stanza of the hymn to St. John the Baptist:

Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti Labii reatum
Sancte Iohannes
Literal translation from Latin: “In order that the slaves might resonate (resound) the miracles (wonders) of your creations with loosened (expanded) vocal chords. Wash the guilt from (our) polluted lip. Saint John.”

In other words, so people could live together in peace and communicate in harmony about the miracle in their lives, and how God blessed them to produce this “magic”, people’s true unpolluted spiritual natures required revelation. The above text seems to suggest that Solfeggio notes open up a channel of communication with the Divine.

Each syllable was thoroughly studied by Dr. Puleo and other professional researchers. David Hulse, a sound therapy pioneer with over 40 years of experience, described the tones as the following:

UT – 396 Hz – turning grief into joy, liberating guilt & fear
RE – 417 Hz – undoing situations & facilitating change
MI – 528 Hz – transformation & miracles, repairing DNA
FA – 639 Hz – relationship, connecting with spiritual family
SOL – 741 Hz – expression/solutions, cleaning & solving
LA – 852 Hz – returning to spiritual order
Click here for detailed description of each tone.


And this;

Why 432Hz?

The Law of Octaves: Every doubling of Hz yields a perceived pitch increase of one octave. i.e. A440 sounds like one octave above A220, and two octaves above A110, et cetera.

Units-wise 1Hz = 1 sec = 1/60min = 1/3600hr = 1/86400 or 1/60/60/24 earth rotation. Remember, the second is an important geometric measurement based on the speed of the earth's rotation, the "second" 1/60th division of the hour hour = (((1/2)/3)/4) of a day.

Everything moves a fixed distance every second just sitting on the planet.

So, 1Hz*28 = 256Hz=~C using the Law of Octaves, thus the earth spins in "C" at the second level, which is the same timeframe music operates on. Larger phenomena could be tuned to larger cycles.

Using Harmonic Just Intonation, set the 1/1 Root to C = 1/1. Thus the 27/16 maj6 is A, such that where C = 256 Hz and 512 Hz, A = 432 Hz within that octave, using ancient Pythagorean tuning methods.

TL;DR: (1 day/2/3/4/( 3 * 4 * 5 )/( 3 * 4 * 5 )) * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * ( 33 / 24 ) = 432Hz.

"Standard" frequencies changed because of pitch inflation so standards were devised to combat this. I could argue for A440 to be A430.54 so that all Cs resolve to powers of two but the whole "A440 is bad" thing is conspiracy theory at best.

None of it matters, though, because most people can't keep their own instrument in tune let alone stay in tune with the band.

One of my favorite albums of all time is Van Halen I. Each *song* is tuned differently because everyone just tuned to Eddie.

In this video, there's a noticeable difference in modulation between the two. This is the intersection of sound and time, sound moving at 1125 ft/s = 767 miles per hour.



The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second (1,235 km/h; 1,125 ft/s; 767 mph; 667 kn), or a kilometre in 2.9 s or a mile in 4.7 s.

The best reason to use A440 is so that you can play with other other people.


Pardon my poor english - plus I'm on pain medication after having a tooth pulled - but - what's the difference between "other people" vs "other other people" ? I can imagine "other people" being your regular mates with whom you play. The "other others" could then be the occasional visitors - who you might meet only once in lifetime. Or . . . :sneaky:

Pardon my poor english - plus I'm on pain medication after having a tooth pulled - but - what's the difference between "other people" vs "other other people" ? I can imagine "other people" being your regular mates with whom you play. Th "other others2 could then be the occasional visitors - who you might meet only once in lifetime. Or . . . :sneaky:

If I had properly proofread I would have deleted one of the "other"s.

Yes, my own first thought was that it's a common measure of child development: "how well does he/she play with other kids?". :D

Apparently I was kinda eccentric as a kid: I wanted a Ken doll when I was around 5 or 6 years old, kindergarten/first grade. Figured if the girls could have Barbies then the guys should be able to have Kens, right?

And it could be a way to get close to the girls. They had a lot of fun playin' with their dolls, especially a really cute one...

But this was about 2 years before GI Joe dolls hit the market and therefore absolutely gender-role incorrect for a male to wanna play with dolls, and I was "dissuaded" from my instincts by the teachers. Bless their well-meaning hearts.

So yeah I felt pretty vindicated when GI Joe came out and I had a couple but by then James Bond was the ultimate male role model of the times... and he had really good theme music.
:D

it's worth noting that A440 is not a global standard at all.

First of all as has been pointed out, pitch has crept up through time and many baroque orchestras play A = 415hz or a range of other pitches in between. Pitch actually dropped again in the early 20thC and anyone here who plays wind instruments like I do (soprano sax) will know that a lot of older instruments cannot be played in a contemporary setting unless everyone else retunes as they're made to an A=452Hz standard.

In terms of current global standards, Berlin Philharmonic plays to A=443Hz, which is also standard concert pitch in Russia. A=445 is also in use. Does it really matter? If you don't subscribe to the harmonic pseudoscience, then perhaps not. I think most would struggle to hear the difference.

Moreover, if you're interested in playing in tune with the harmony of the spheres you probably shouldn't be using even temperament at all :)

So, IF you set your A = 440, THEN what note is 432 (or the closest note)?

G#4/Ab4​
415.30​
83.07​
A4​
440.00​
78.41​
A#4/Bb4​
466.16​
74.01​

So the answer to "what note is 432hz?" would be "an ever so slightly flat A"

I bend every note so tuning doesn’t matter. When I’m not bending I use a Floyd Rose. When I’m not using a Floyd Roae I use a Bigsby. When I’m not using a Bigsby I use a TransTrem.

I also like messing with pitch while I play. As an Ornette Coleman fan, I can say it's just another variable
