Well, if you tune a semi-tone or a whole tone up or down, naturally there is not really any difference. This is because we use the 12-TET system. The interval between every tone is 100 cents. So, if...

Please, do not mix concert pitch A4=432Hz up with the "Horowitz 528 Love" tuning. "528 Love" tuning (as Horowitz likes to call it) uses A4=444Hz.

Yes, I have seem some info online that is scientific, some info can be found from a "spiritual" or as you call it "pananormal" side ... I've also seen quite some mathematical formulas and various...

While reading this thread from time to time, today I remembered another silly event. This was at the same time I mentioned in a previous post here on the cruise liners in Scandinavia. We had a...

Well, spending a lot of free time on the internet can have it's benefits. It's very good for your your sax-skills, but thats "somethin' else" (off topic: a great album of Cannonball and Miles...

Well, I don't know, but that part "vart" sounds for me too much like "fart" ... and I don't think you would be happy being called on stage under, or listed on a poster or flyer as the "Norsk Sax...
