(It might help to only hear the intro on the first link.)

There is definitely a difference here.

I am so glad to see you have taken notice of 432hz....within 13 years hopefully we will be listening to it on the Wireless :)

Just thought I would mention that I also have had trouble getting the word out there re: 432hz...if I was in a movie and had a really low top on I would swear that this topic is being watched and monitored..... It would also be a really good plot line to include that clearly the Government whomever that may be does not want this information out there.....because it causes less stress and peace....therefore no chaos and money for the greedy. :)

Clearly some seriously whacked conspiracy theory. I am certain that no empirical double-blind study exists that validates even a tiny fraction of this nonsense. Beethoven is heavenly at 432 or 440...

The 432 Hz sounds muffled. There has obviously been done something with it, even during recording they were turning the buttons, I think. The 440 Hz, on the other hand, sounds a bit shrill. I think I'd go for 438 Hz, based on these samples.

432 / 440hz argument is a non argument. Most people THINK they can hear a difference, they can't. It's psychological.

Saxes used to be sold as "high pitch / low pitch" to cope with this. Most "high pitch" saxes became unsaleable as people worried that they wouldn't play in tune with other low pitch saxes.

In the rare case that anyone could tell the difference... what you do is either slightly slacken your jaw OR move the mouthpiece back a few millimetres. Problem - non problem, even - solved.

As a sax player, one of the things you get taught is "You play in tune. The sax doesn't".

And this is quite correct. Most saxes will get near to a note, but you basically have to adjust the pitch yourself to fine tune it. This comes with practice.

So. If we assume that I have to play in *perfect* pitch, I go on stage (with a directional microphone and oscilloscope or a digital tuner) and take extra care with every single note. The audience, who would all have directional microphones and oscilloscopes, would obviously be paying special attention.

Of course, we'd have to take atmospheric pressure into account, tuning, say, the drum kit up and down for difference in sea level. And better not use Gibson guitars, because, Fact Fans, the 24 3/4 scale on most Gibsons is fretted up incorrectly, so you get minor intonation errors.

I'd expect nothing less than my picky fans to play our music on vinyl, heaven forfend that their record deck didn't revolve at precisely 33.333 recurring RPM, otherwise that'd put the pitch out, too.

PS Beethoven. If we're on nit-picky correctness, the standards for orchestral timing changed in the 19th century. Beethoven used to be played a lot faster. ;-)

Seriously, was this thread a good idea ????
