      Right: I honestly didn’t catch the frequency difference per se,
      but I got the impression that the 432 gave an effect of
      more sympathetic resonance (i.e. a hair closer to tiorba).

    It's pretty clear that the second one is higher, brighter. It sounds more in tune since I'm used to music in this tuning. Higher tuning normally requires higher tension in the strings, I don't know whether that has any ramification with our perception. Version one is lower, bit more sombre and melancholic. I really think it depends on what mood you are looking for in the music.

    This is crazy, I was hearing both songs distractingly with headphones while doing something else on the main screen.
    The first one felt very organic, almost as if it was just a nice background and I could not hear it. Nice, calming vibes.
    As soon as the second tuning started the mood changed very steeply, I started noticing the music tone more but it also carried some anxiety with it.
    Incredible.

      You need to use a fretless acoustic instrument like a harp or a violin to really enjoy 432Hz.
      Or at least an accoustic guitar with Just Intonated frets - NOT a guitar or a piano etc built for equal temperament.
      The natural wood will resonate better at 432Hz because it is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 (NOT 5)

    • @petesorensenguitar
      @petesorensenguitar 5 років тому +64

      Probably confirmation bias. You've probably already bought into the idea of 432hz tuning being "warmer, like a hug", subsequently you've decided that's how it sounds when really they sound more or less the same. Yes the human ear does apparently receive it slightly better, but the difference you're describing is irrational. It's the same piece of music, so they couldn't possibly evoke such drastically different impressions.
      Did you arrive at that conclusion before or after he told you which version was which?
      To be fair, it's easy to tell given that you most likely noticed the change in pitch (some people can't).
      Just my 8 cents, fam.

    I found it interesting that I wanted to skip past the second one after about a minute because it started grating on me. I found it more interesting to discover it was the 432 tuning that I preferred. What I'd really like to hear are some well known songs compared rather than ambient drones. I do enjoy this type of music, but I think it would be a more fair comparison to hear something people know how the original sounds already. Happy birthday, for example - or Penny Lane - something that has a wide appreciation. Thanks for the cool vid ✌️

    • @markvanslooten5311

      There was a dissonance because you were adjusted to another tuning with the first piece. If you want an honest comparison you should play both versions on different times of the day. It may also depend on which version you hear first. Playing a lower tuning after a higher one may have different results than starting with the higher tuning.

For ambient guitar it really depends if the tune is "darker" or "brighter" (at least to my ear). Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts, Bill!!

    Awesome Demonstration! I knew immediately when you started playing (V1) that it was 432. V2 - -440Hz is dissonant to the ears and the mind in comparison. That´s why it was done in 1939 to set the standard to A-440Hz. It aggravates people, stresses the mind and biology. The proof is in the pudding. Blessings.

    Wow, thank you for uploading this comparison! I am just finding out about this difference (of which I hadn't heard before) and, in my opinion, not only 432 sounds better, but 440 tends to "flatten" or expels the harmonics out, so to say. It is not a matter of fast vs slow, but of the harmonics you hear. Amazing!! 🙂🙂

  • @Arundodonax
    @Arundodonax 6 років тому +7

    I prefer A-432, because my human nature leads me to take a greater interest in things which are new and different from the norm. I therefore prefer to frame my experience of A-432 in a more positive light, as the contrast to the more conventional A-440 satisfies this need . All of my perceptions will also be tilted towards this opinion, consciously or not.

    2nd version: I immediately thought it sunded horrible and out of tune when it started. It has a annoying sound to it that i can't explain but it's not bad overall. It does sound pretty and nice but it woke me up and alerted me. My heart beat when up in this version.

Those particular bowls were hand made and I can't imagine that they know about the 432 thing.

      I suspect the multitude of commentors saying that they "feel anxious" hearing the version in A440 are feeling like something's "off" about the A440 tuning version directly after listening to the A432 version, because the notes are close enough where hearing the change in tunings makes you think something's "wrong" with it since all the notes sound a little "sharp". There is a reason that all channels doing these sorts of comparisons will always play A432 first, if they are wanting to elicit favour for A432. (Likewise the other way around).

      it has to do with the number nine. 4+3+2=9, a number that is Existent and nonexistent; has to do with numerology and math. 440 is the number 8. Churches back in the 1500s tuned their pipe organs to 432Hz which and the organ was the first Polyphonic instrument. Antonio Vivaldi, a priest and yes, THE Vivaldi used it. As did Fresco Baldi, Gabrielli and Bach ,followed by Handl. The church was set up inside in such a way that the resonance of this 15,000 pipe organ would ring out and feel other worldly to the point where if the planets were aligned on that specific day, such as they were on October 19th,1980 in the San Francisco church that Eric P Dollard (scientist) talks about, it created a field of sound energy. It comes from the Pathagorian era.

    432 is "darker", more "calm" when compared side by side with 440, but when played apart by, say, an hour you really can not tell anything different with your ear....but with your feelings the 432 WILL have a more relaxing effect.
    I done experiments a few years back on this "bull" (as I called it then) and the results was affirmative that 432 made my friends, and myself, feel more "relaxed", "non-edgy".....a LOT of "feeling terms" where tossed out.
    As for the "cosmic" claims, I don't know. But FOR MYSELF, the evidence says that there is some physical reaction to the two turnings, not for Rock or music with a driving beat, but for music that is calmer in the first place.....

Once you get used to the "normal" of the first playing, you find the change to sharper notes jarring.
    My experience with this video (perfect pitch) was: when A432 started playing it sounded like garbage because all the notes sounded flat to my ears, but then I got used to it and the music sounded alright. Then when A440 started playing it sounded like garbage because all the notes sounded sharp in comparison to what had just been played, but then I got used to it and the music sounded alright. Stop this video at 3:15, go listen to a couple of songs, and then play the video from 3:15 onward. You probably will not notice the "jarring" effect!

Because the 2nd one is incorrect. Each song has a specific frequency that is fixed. If a frequency changed during one song, you would immediately notice a different pitch, the song would sound broken, like an old record or missing a note. Maybe in live music it's more possible for the frequency to change, but in commercial music that are recorded in a studio, the frequency stays the same for the whole song.

      Music comes from the military. They wanted you to turn to hip hop, and be pro multi cultural. Pro black, pro race mixing, pro lack of reason, pro white genocide. @@axlegrind4212

    Great job, this concept blows my mind...it's real there is no disputing it in the context of the piece you played. I felt so moved and uplifted by v1 and v2 made me anxious....like country music. LOL...Ty.

      Same here, I felt it in my chest. The longer I listened to B though the less I felt it. I think it was the contrast, since most music is 440 and I don't feel that way with everything. Palpable emotional reaction to a blind test has my attention.

      B had a higher pitch.. Of course it sounds a bit more strained.. doesn't prove anything tho.. Let's say you play a tune in 422 and then play the same at 432. You'll get the same effect..

    I've listened to probably half a dozen tuning videos like this. I hear a song in two different keys. I do not find one any "better" than the other. I also want to echo some other comments, it can matter what order you listen to the examples in. Going back to back you have to be able to listen long enough for your brain to settle into the new key. Like eating sushi and chocolate cake. You might love both flavors but you probably want to cleanse your pallet in between.

    • @neutrin0329
      @neutrin0329 3 роки тому

      I see it the same way however, depending on the song, I find 432 more musically satisfying to the ear. But like I said, some songs sound better in 440, and vice versa.

    • @hatchlingone

      It’s definitely not the same as a key change. It’s far more subtle.

    • @guitarsean
      @guitarsean 3 роки тому

      I find no preference for one or the other. Context is also important. Lower tuned guitar by itself is different than standard tuning backed by bass and low synth. Call me a curmudgeon but I really don't think there's anything mystical about 432. "Standard" tuning has changed over time and at one point was even as low at 415, probably because of the construction limitations of instruments, but has also been as high as 466 in Bach's time. And this is all based on Western European standards.

  • @danpeppers4976
    @danpeppers4976 5 років тому +5

    Pitch is relative. Imagine that you played an E chord in 440, then an F chord in 432. Now don't tell anyone which is which, and don't tell anyone that you were playing an F chord in 432. Just have them compare the chords without any bias. People will hear the E in 440 as "calmer and warmer" because it's lower than the F in 432.
    It would be interesting to see if people could tell the difference between a chord tuned to 440, and the same chord in 432 if the chords were separated by a few minutes of silence or white noise. If the second chord is played immediately after the first, it will always sound wrong because our brains have deemed the first chord correct.

  • @Prajnana

    From the first few notes, I "felt" the 432. No. 2, the 440hz, seemed brighter, but slightly grating. Was it my imagination at work?

    • @swissarmyknight4306
      @swissarmyknight4306 6 років тому +8

      It sounds "brighter" because it is brighter, because 440 is slightly higher in pitch. Higher pitches sound brighter, lower pitches sound warmer. If you want your music to be way warmer, detune the guitar by a half step or more (which is one of several reasons so many guitarists do this). There's nothing special about 432. Its just an arbitrary number pulled from nowhere by people trying to sell you snake oil.

    Thanks for the demo and thank you for leaving out the cosmos jive.
    Definitely liked the 2nd one more. It seemed less discordant and I could definitely hear a beat of about 2 Hz. I have played instruments all my life with the piano my goto for working out songs. So maybe the piano with its fixed pitches is the source of my 440 Hz preference. Maybe it is related to personality or thought processes. Some say 432 is of the heart and 440 of the mind. How many other engineers prefer A440?
    I have played both for several people with a few notes in between to clear the ear in between and there was no marked preference. When I told them that the tone was 432 when actually playing 440 they liked the one I said was 432. Some folks want to be in tune with the pack.

      It's immediately recognizable which is which. My teachers piano is tuned that way and I do it often in the studio for some instruments. But what do you mean with aggressive? It just sounds different, more interesting cause we are not used to it so much so its prominent, catches the attention more but in a very pleasing not so boring mind of way I think.

    • @BeardedBack

  • @gibbethoskins8621
    @gibbethoskins8621 Рік тому

    I've noticed that it depends on the song how easily it is to decifer the difference, with this particular tune on this tinny guitar it's almost impossible to tell the difference. I've noticed that on an acoustic with certain songs I can notice the difference right away, particularly with songs that have a warmer tone, generally I find in that case 432 sounds a bit warmer and softer, less sharp so to speak.

      @LexanderMiller 6 років тому +4

      it's not 8 cents though, going from A to G# is 24.7 hz difference. in that case, 8hz is actually closer to 30 cents and not a small 8. 30 cents is a lot imo. Whether it's worth it is up to you.

    • @garymessling8153
      @garymessling8153 6 років тому

      A.X.'s math is correct. I'll add that measuring absolute frequencies in Hz is not compatible with cents which are relative intervals as they are simply a further refinement of a semitone. I00 cents per semitone. And just as successive semitones as well as octaves and all other musical intervals will contain increasing more (whole number) frequencies as you go up the scale, so do cents. At A440, an increase to A441, a 1Hz difference, you go up 3.93 cents. If at A220, an increase to A221, still a 1Hz difference, you go up 7.85 cents. So you can see simply adding or subtracting frequencies will not yield correct results for calculating musical intervals whereas cents will. In general, using cents to describe a frequency or pitch offset from a given point just makes more sense and that's why electronic tuning involves the measuring of cents and not absolute frequencies...except to set the pitch standard.
