Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
1. Harmonically aligns to astronomical time count of Precession of the equinoxes, 432 X 60 = 25920

2. The original Stradivarius violin was designed to be tuned to 432, it is the most precise instrument ever constructed by humans.

3. 432 is found at countless ancient sacred sites Furia's virtual tour of sacred sites along with such key locations as the Great Pyramid in Egypt, 432 is found at the largest Buddhist temple in the world The borobudur - At the Borobudur the amount of statues at "The temple of countless Buddhas" is 432

4. over 2,000 signatures on a petition to the Italian government to change the standard to 432 due to the registers ripping many opera singers voices in 440 (it fell on deaf ears)


5. The most important of all is when the correction to 432 is made, the others notes of the entire octave display a multitude of Gematrian ancient sacred numbers that are astoundingly relative to astronomy, sacred geometry, The Bible and other mysterious literary works such as the Bhagavad-gita and exact longitude and latitudes and hundreds of pyramids and other sacred sites.


"The ancient monument builders did nothing by chance" says Graham Hancock , author of Fingerprints Of The Gods. As responsible free-thinkers we must determine the multi-purposes of these very curious tuning and ancient numbers systems.

What do you mean, 432 is "found at countless ancient sacred sites?" I don't know what that means.

A half tone would be much more than that from 440 to 432.
Divide 440 or 432 by 1,06, the twelfth root of 2, means 2^(1/12) to get a half tone lower.
432 would result in 407,5 and 440 in 415 Hz so tuning it from E to E flat has nothing to do with this slight retuning mentioned in the op.

The ONLY valid reason for changing the standard would be a musical one, e.g., it's easier for tuning purposes. The reasons you state are totally irrelevant to musicians and are examples of disconnected, woo-woo thinking to be find here at GLP.

How do you know it isn't easier?

Musicians use 440 because they were socialized to use 440. A counter-socialization movement could easily change that.

Besides, 440 is used only because it was cheaper and easier to make pitch-pipes at that frequency.

You obviously haven't seen a dozen drunken professional musicians in an out and out brawl over the interpretation of passages from pieces written by Mozart or Beethoven.

No one alive today has ever heard a piece written by the old masters and conducted by them, therefore, we have no idea how those pieces were intended to sound, we can only guess, which is individual interpretation.

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
according to my calculations, if you tuned to e-flat on the guitar, in standard tuning you would have an a-flat as your '2nd' string.

but if you are yet assuming 'a' to equal 440, the a-flat string in an e-flat tuning would be roughly 421.6666 cycles

in either event tuning to e-flat doesn't appear to result in, '432 tuning'...

in other words, 432 is not a half-step below 440... rather, it is a some kind of 'semi-tone in distance'...

here is another thing... if one is using a 12-tone scale, why not have notes 'a' through 'l' with no sharps or flats?

a staff with perhaps 6 lines?

as it is, the sharp-flat system with the 5-line/4-space staff is a fascinating invention... apparently a way of at once musical shorthand and 'visual compression' for those who care to learn it ....

but a question persists: does it represent the 'natural universe' or is it rather a 'cultural convention?'

another key to all of this... it is the tri-tone... that frequency directly between any given 2 octave notes... for example the d# or e-flat between 'a 440' and 'a 880'...

it used to be 'illegal' (during the inquisition or somesuch) because it was thought to be 'the devil's note'...

as it turns out, the 'doubly-diminished 7' chord gives us a 'haunted house' sound... for instance, the simple g# b d f combination found in 'a, harmonic minor'...

and here we haven't even delved much into semi-tones... scales with more than 12 tones.... as sometimes found in both the near and far east...

did you know that steve vai built one guitar which was divided into quarter tones?... whereas the standard, 'western' guitar is divided into half-tones (or half-steps)... his special guitar broke it down into quarters... 24-frets per octave... that must have been a long neck on that bad boy!

the standard, 'grand piano' is an insrument of astounding depth and beauty... yet it is rigid in its 12-tone structure...

the standard electric guitar, with its 12-fret setup, appears at first glance to be regimented like the piano... yet the use of 'string bends,' 'whammy bars,' and 'false harmonics' allow the guitarist access to a dizzying array of available tones...

of course 'modern,' 'keyboardists' may have the most flexibility of all, what with all of the advances in synthesizer, sequencer, and sampler technology and whatnot...

it is interesting in any event; the op's original premise that the 440 tuning is hard on the human voice, and that basing 'everything' musical off of 432 rather than 440 would put western music as a whole more 'into sync' with the universe at large...

interestingly, if we take a=440 and of course a=220, then the intervals break down into 18.33333 cycles apart... 220 (the distance between the 2 'a' notes) divided by 12 is 18.33333

it is fascinating to note that if we were to employ a=432 and by definition, a=216... that the intervals would be a round number, 18...

216/12 = 18

and 432/12 = (36 of course)

fascinating...

perhaps there is some 'musical conspiracy' to be uncovered, or is it all simple an 'accident' of hystory?

finally, here is another thing to consider, whether in a=440 or a=432... the 7-note scales derived from the '12-tone palette' of notes...

professor bainbridge has devised 3 new types of minor:

"dynamic minor" ... example based on the key of 'a-flat':

a-flat b c d e f g

this one could be explained in terms of western theory as 'a, harmonic minor with the 'tonic' ('a') removed and the g retained, and the g# renamed to a-flat'... this key wishes to resolve to either the 'a minor triad' or - perhaps secondarily - to the 'f minor triad'... interestingly, the 'a minor triad' doesn't even exist within the structure of the key....

let's now look at professor bainbridge's, "contratonic" minor:
here in the key of 'e minor'

e f## g## a# b# c# d#

this one is amazing... i have not yet found any way to describe it in classical theoretical terms...


let's have a look at 'kinetic minor,' also discovered/invented by professor bainbridge:

in the key of 'd minor'

d e# f# g# a b c

interestingly, this one is in 'd minor' but it looks like 'a, melodic minor with an e# thrown in'... or 'let's play in a, melodic minor but with an f (e#) note instead of an e note'

as an offshoot of these keys by professor bainbridge, i have 'thrown together' 'astral minor' which in the key of 'a minor' is:

a b c d e f gb

described as, 'let's take 'a minor' with an f and an f# but leave out g and g#'

or 'unorthodox minor' which is a 9-note scale... in 'a minor' it is:

a b c d e f f# g g#

now it could be said that this is simply 'melodic minor without the '6th and 7th sharped when going up, normal when going down' rule'...

when notating this one in 9-note fashion, the notes are:

a b c d e f g-flat h (g) i (g#)

interestingly, in all of these new minor keys ... whether bainbridge's discoveries or my own meanderings... if you 'build out' the triads... it's some crazy stuff...

for example, in 'e contratonic minor' you have:
e g## b# (could be stated as 'a minor')
f## a# c# ('g diminished')
g## b# d# ('a diminished')
a# c# e ('a# diminished')
b# d# f## ('c minor')
c# e g## ('A Major')
d# f## a# ('D# Major')

it's phreaking brilliant!

bainbridge's are perhaps more interesting in that they all eschew 'consecutive half-steps'

so the question there is, why were these keys - particularly professor bainbridge's - seemingly ignored in western musical theory?

in any event, going to a=432 seems like it would be a good move...

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
To tune a stringed instrument would be easy to convert, however, other instruments that have tuning slides might present a problem to convert to 432. There would have to be a total redesign of brass and woodwind instruments to accomodate the retune to fit the diatonic scale.

Don't get me wrong, I am in favor of a more natural resonance. As long as we're at it, we sould shitcan the equal tempered diatonic scale and move to what Pythagoras intended, which is a true tempered scale. I would also like to hear 1/4 tone scales like Eastern music has. See if you can throw that in too please.

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
i was mistaken about how to determine the freqs... i had thought it a simple matter of dividing the interval between two octaves by 12... for example, 220/12 or 440/12... apparently it's not that simple...

which begs the question: if we did base everything on 432 instead of 440, would it be that simple?... would we then be able to simply divide 216 for example into 12 (=18)?

anyway, here are some freqs:

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
whoah... hadn't thought of how this might affect woodwinds and brass...

"Keyboard instruments like your piano made things more complicated. Each
piano key participates in a number of different chords, and it turns
out that the key would have to be tuned slightly differently for each
chord. Around the time of Bach, there was a lot of debate about this,
and it was decided to go with a compromise called "equal tempering"
that has each note a little bit off from what it should be, so that
each chord will sound okay, though none is perfect."

I am not musically informed enough to follow this entire argument, but here's some interesting info re an "ancient sacred site", complete w/music in which "... the musical note A below middle C vibrates at 440 KHz and produces a shape that looks like a rhombus.", whatever that may mean, & the music sounds pretty good to my untrained ears.

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
This whole thread is very fascinating to me.
I could tune my celtic harp to 432...easily with a strobe-tuner. But not everyone has a strobe tuner! Most tuner's won't let you vary from 440.

That aside, the dynamic, kinetic, melodic, augmented melodic (that one's my own) and contratonic minor scales you mention are ones I've been using because my harp levers allow me only "so much" variation on songs.

It's been really expansive for my work, and knocks down some of the preceonceptions that "music theory" taught me at college, etc. It is ALL just "theory" after all :) And the music on the page is just "notes" to remind you how to think of it - how it's supposed to go, to a degree anyway.

And true to the person who wrote that we don't know what classical music was supposed to sound like. We only have their "notes".

And...that's a good thing! It forces you to make it your own.

Speaking of which, I'm off to re-tune my harp. Will bookmark this page and let you know how it sounds when I record it!

In all fairness, I should say, I'm primarily a flutist, and keyboardist. Harp is a recent musical acquisition, and I'm happy to be in a wildly experimental phase!!

So thanks for the random-googled-input. (of course, I was looking for something totally unrelated.....)

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
Sorry its long but i was in a discussion last year about this subject and here are some notes i collected.

Let's ask what is a Herz? A whole cycle of a wave in one second.
What is a second then? 1/60 of a minute or as it's definition - the fraction 1/31,556,925.9747 of the tropical year for 1900 January 0 at 12 hours ephemeris time?

As for our tuning issue,

Let's say A = 432.
This will mean the following octave of frequencies:

E = 432 x 3 / 2 = 324
B = 324 x 3 / 2 = 486
F# = 486 x 3 / 2 / 2 = 364.5
C# = 364.5 x 3 / 2 / 2 = 273.375
G# = 273.375 x 3 / 2 = 410.0625
D# = 410.0625 x 3 / 2 / 2 = 307.546875
A# = 307.546875 x 3 / 2 = 461.3203125
F = 461.3203125 x 3 / 2 = 345.990234375 (~346)
C = 346 x 3 / 2 / 2 = 259.5
G = 259.5 x 3 / 2 = 389.25
D = 389.25 x 3 / 2 / 2 = 291.9375
A = 291.9375 x 3 / 2 = 437.9

Let's say A = 440.
This will mean the following octave of frequencies(using opposite direction of division by 3):

D = 440 / 3 * 2 = 293.3333...
G = 293.3333... / 3 * 2 * 2 = 391.1111...
C = 391.1111... / 3 * 2 = 260.740740...
F = 260.740740... / 3 * 2 * 2 = 347.6543...
A# = 347.6543... / 3 * 2 * 2 = 463.539
D# = 463.539 / 3 * 2 = ~309
G# = 309 / 3 * 2 * 2 = 412
C# = 412 / 3 * 2 = 274.6666...
F# = 274.6666... / 3 * 2 * 2 = 366.2222...
B = 366.2222... / 3 * 2 * 2 = ~488
E = 488 / 3 * 2 = 325.3333...
A = 325.3333 / 3 * 2 * 2 = 433.777....

Notice the similar C notes, and notice the other notes - esspecially A.

So maybe the 3/2 way of doing these things is wrong...

Which tone is 1 Hz?

Why A should be 432Hz?






Let's bring this A to its first tone by dividing by 2 untill we reach a fraction point:

432 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 = 27

Should I use 3/2 method again?

to reach D I'll divide by 3:

27 / 3 = 9

to reach G I'll divide by 3 again:

9 / 3 = 3

to reach C I'll divide by 3 once again:

3 / 3 = 1

Does this mean C will be the tone of 1Hz?

And if D is 9Hz, then let's multiply it by 2 to reach a higher D tone:

9 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 288Hz

We want to reinvent the evenly tempered scale of tones? What frequncy table do you suggest we shall use with the 'new' 432Hz of A? I'd appreciate the input.

-Adding the digits of any note in 432 adds to 9
-There a 9 levels of conscious awarness (underworlds)..................................
-Scales are 7 notes and 6 intervals = 13 events = one octave
-There are 7 days and 6 nights to every conscious level (Underworld) = 13 events = also one octave............................
-Pinnacle events are always on the 5th day and 5th night.
-Musicians have the "Cycle of Fifths"......................................
-Music has 3 note triads that when played in 432 cover all the harmonic octaves that cannot
be reproduced with A-440hz. and when you hear the word triad you instantly think of the triangle.

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
350263 - yes this is a conspiracy site - so, what do you think of the fact that the musical scale has been tampered with, ie: A = 440 in order to keep us from creating music in keeping with healing frequencies and creating higher vibrations?

I think you have missed the point...

The conspiracy embraces all aspects of what we have been taught, and music is no exception

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
vocalists find it easier to sing some stuff when in 432 as well... my guitarists used to tune down 1/2 step all the time for that reason, although i remember them having to change the way they played a few things as well. good thing im a drummer and do not have to worry about keys,..lol it is fun to watch new players faces when i sit in with them and ask what key its in ,..lol, like it matters. ba dat boom!

You can get a slightly fatter tone by tuning your guitar down a half step.

A little easier to bend strings too.

Re: Reasons to change the standard of tuning from 440 to 432
I was told playing in new orleans is different if you are from elsewhere
you have to tune up, if i recall
it's below sea level
no rock no stone
saturated air
all that contributes
no natural echo either

Hendrix started the half-step tune down and he only did it because he enjoyed the darker, more dissonant tone
