Yes. You may.
I’m suddenly even more troubled by the fact that I am male but have self lubricating chakras. My third eye is jamming which has severely inhibited my ability to pitch. I’m stressed about my new almost but not quite monotonal music career. All songs are 432 Hz ± 3.9Hz (so they are always closer to 432 than 440) with volume variations. Look for my new album, Crystal Chi Enlightened Power Calm, later this year. Fortunately the Dalai Lama promised me total consciousness on my death bed…
So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
Prince held a Facebook Q&A and this is the only question he answered… Please address the importance of ALL music being tuned to 432 Hz sound frequencies??? Prince responded by writing “The Gold Standard” and sharing a link to a story about why you should convert your music to 432 Hz. - YouTube
The construction costs of 432 Park exceed $1.25 billion. The owner-developer Harry Macklowe expects to sell over $3 billion of condos in 432 Park. The penthouse has already sold for $95 million.
Interestingly Macklowe purchased the Drake Hotel at 440 Park for $440 million and tore it down to make room for the residential tower with the new address of 432 Park. This syncs with the movement to change concert tuning from 440 Hz to the more harmonious 432 Hz.
432 Park to the Statue of Liberty’s torch is 33,333 feet. In addition the distance from the Home of The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Washington DC to 432 Park is 333 km.

The Great Pyramid appears to incorporate measurements of Earth on a scale of 43200:1

Are you planning to address the arbitrariness of the length of the second? How about the fact that the length of a day changes over time?
Without reverting to the merits of any of the arguments here, I must commend the Schiller Institute as the gold standard of aristocratic radicalism. Mr. LaRouche’s mob is as respectable a source as the Tory Party, the Cato and Heartland Institutes, or the Sea Org; and shows up Rense as the timid speculators of sober reason.
A textbook illustration of why this forum is called “pointless.”
I don’t see what Verdi was all up in arms about. The difference of 8 hz is only about 1/5 of a semitone in that octave. Singers would barely notice the difference, and it wouldn’t make even the high notes that much easier to sing.
According to the article linked, he wasn’t complaining about the difference between 432 and 440, but between 432 and 450, which is a little more noticeable (I could tell by ear if one of my strings was that far out of tune). Also, orchestra tunings had been gradually creeping upwards, so maybe he was partly interested in stemming that tide.
18 hz is still only a quarter-step, but I agree that a singer would definitely notice a difference if they were singing near the top of their range at full volume.
Also, the steel strings used today (versus the gut strings of the past) can damage string instruments that were not designed for that kind of tension. Higher tunings make this worse, although I don’t think steel strings were a thing in Verdi’s time.
The article also mentions opera orchestras tuning at A=450. Is that true? I’ve not heard of that in the U.S…
Neither have I. Maybe that was an artifact of his era.
I even think 442 is kind of stupid, and the Viennese tradition of 448 is just unnecessary. According to the article, the Moscow Phil still tunes around 450. Dumbness.
There are plenty of mallet instruments (tubular chimes, xylophones, glockenspiels, marimbas, etc.) from the early 1900s in use in orchestras today, all tuned at 440 (or even 438). These instruments are of extremely high quality, and sound better than anything made today. In particular, the rosewood was old-growth, and has hardened over the years, so it’s tone quality is not reproducible. Retuning these priceless instruments risks damaging them. Not only that, but what happens if pitch standards drift back downward in the future? You can raise the pitch, but you can’t add more wood back to the bar later.
That explains why angel’s harps only have 8 strings that are all the same length.
True, but you can still get gut strings. They’re pricy, temperamental, and wear out quickly, but if you’re playing a fine 18th century instrument they’re definitely worth it at a couple hundred bucks a set. I have vague recollections that there are lower-tension gut strings made so that you can play A=440hz on older instruments, without harming the sound quality or damaging the instrument.
You might have to wait until 2018 to get your answer…
“A committee of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) has proposed revised formal definitions of the SI base units, which are being examined by the CIPM and which will probably be introduced at the 26th ‘General Conference on Weights and Measures’ in 2018. The metric system was originally conceived as a system of measurement that was derivable from nature. When the metric system was first introduced in France in 1799 technical problems necessitated the use of artifacts as the prototype metre and kilogram. In 1960 the metre was redefined in terms of the wavelength of light from a specified source, making it derivable from nature, but the kilogram is still being defined by an artifact since its introduction. If the proposed redefinition is accepted, the metric system (SI) will, for the first time, be wholly derivable from nature.”
But in my opinion it might be because cycle per second is how our brains operate…
MUSIC OF SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS & 8 HZ
It is said that our planet beats from 7.82-8 cycles per second
(7.82-8 hz, fundamental Schumann resonance), 8 hz is the alpha brain wave rhythm in which our parallel processors, or brain hemispheres, are synchronized to spin together equally.
The neo-cortex of the brain, 90% unassigned becomes awakened in this
synchronization, and one then operates in all brain cell dendrites with the maximum information flow possible on that scale.
" Ordinary" awareness brain waves ranges from 14-40 hz. Here one is operating only in some brain cell dendrites, and predominantly with the left brain as the centre of activity, where information flow is billions of times slighter (like using an old PC 386 compared to a parallel process Pentium IV, or an old Mac Performa, compared to a Parallel processing G4).
In other words at 7.82 one is an operating supercomputer, or congressing towards Superconsciousness.
8hz is harmonic to both 440hz and 432hz. The latter is by a factor of 27, but the former is by a factor of 55, which is five times eleven. Anyone who is vaguely familiar with the work of Nigel Tufnel understand the importance of 11.
eschereal has me convinced.
Sticking with A4 =440.
We salute you, our half-inflated Dark Lord!
