The choice of tuning at A4=432.1Hz is based on a specific tuning standard known as the “432 Hz tuning.” Advocates of this tuning believe that it offers various benefits compared to the european standard of A4=440Hz.
1. Harmonic Resonance: Proponents of the 432 Hz tuning claim that it is more in harmony with the natural vibrations and resonances found in the universe. They suggest that this frequency aligns with the frequencies found in nature, such as the movements of celestial bodies and the resonant frequencies of Earth.
2. Healing and Relaxation: Some proponents believe that the 432 Hz tuning has a more calming and soothing effect on the listener compared to the 440 Hz tuning. They associate it with increased relaxation, reduced anxiety, and enhanced well-being.

3. Historical Significance: Supporters of the 432 Hz tuning argue that it has historical and cultural significance, as it is believed to have been used by various ancient civilizations and renowned composers. They suggest that this frequency has a long-standing tradition and carries a unique resonance that connects with our collective musical heritage.
It’s important to approach these claims with a critical mindset, as there is limited scientific evidence to support the specific benefits attributed to the 432 Hz tuning. The perception of sound and its impact on individuals can vary greatly, and personal preferences play a significant role in how different frequencies are experienced.
Ultimately, the choice of tuning frequency is subjective and may vary depending on personal preference, cultural background, and specific musical contexts. It is advisable to tune your instruments according to the commonly accepted standards unless you have specific reasons or preferences for exploring alternative tunings like 432 Hz.
