Re: A = 440 Hz OR 432 Hz?



I think part of the ''out of tune'' perception can be attributed to 
guitars being tuned radically to the point of intonation stretching.  I 
had a bit of this issue when I tuned my guitar to Robert Fripp's tuning in 
5ths for the first time.  I think the fanned fret system by Ralph Novak 
might end up being an elegant solution that I've already seen show up on 
Charlie Hunter's 7 string bass/guitar hybrid and the Mobius Megatar 
tapping Stick like instrument.

Interesting tuning page, but I was rather talking about microtonal
tuning of guitars, often referred to as "out of tune".
