Which tuning do you like better? Personally I think THIS violin sounds the most resonant at A415. maybe I'll do another comparison using different violins.

[@-ClayMan-]

I thank you with all my heart, best regards. And please tell me if I need the appropriate strings for 415 Hz or the ones I have for 440 Hz are satisfactory??? 415 and 432 Hz are the most beautiful. Apparently 432 Hz comes from the Fibonacci code.

Just to clarify, this is a "baroque" replica violin with gut strings which is why it sounds best at A415. "Modern" violins have metal strings and are tuned to A440.

[@chandlerh2511]

⁠@@redragon1990they’re literally all the same the pitch is just shifted. The notes aren’t gonna “transition” any better in any tuning because a perfect fifth will always be 3/2, etc. The beauty is in the harmony not the fundamental frequency and if you listened to any of these out of context and separated from eachother you would have no opinion or even perception of their fundamental frequency. The whole “440 bad” thing is bogus. One thing I will tell you is that the context of these tunings will affect your perception. In my opinion here, since we start out on 415 it naturally sounds good. The shift to 432 sounds like it’s off from shifting by a satisfying tone up from 415, but on its own it sounds fine. But transitioning into 440 from 432 seems to resolve that awkward tension, making me think that the amount of cents that you shift from 415 to 440 is probably close to 100. I googled it and found that that is true, they are separated by a semitone (100 cents). I was already aware that 432 is separate from 440 by around 30 cents and so, confirming what my ears heard it sits awkwardly in between both tunings. But ON THEIR OWN, there is no perceivable difference. It is all about the intervals and the temperament of the tuning.

[@TheCreditShifu]

440 and 415 are the same, in concert pitch A is 440 and Ab is 415. It is just that 415 is lower so people will say it sounds warmer. Its better to just test 440 vs 432. But the difference isn’t that obvious to the ear

@@poodychulak 432 instead of 440 is changing the frequency to something that is in between the normal notes, turning A to 407.75 is just tuning down a half step within the 432hz frequency system, so it is the same as 432 and the key of the music is changed too. But the test that people want to do is comparing 440 music and 432 music. 407.75 is 432, just in a different key.

This is the only reason people perceive a difference between these tunings. You would not normally say that a song played in G# is 'better' than the same song played in A. But when you hear them side-by-side, you perceive a difference instantly. Yes, tuning strings down has an effect on the timbre of the instrument, but there's nothing fundamentally different about A=415Hz. It's just G#. You could keep going infinitely... "I think G natural sounds more soothing," etc.

Interesting comparison, thank you for taking the time to do this. One's likes/dislikes are highly subjective, I will offer my own observations/impressions. There is a warmth and a resonance to 415hz--not sure how much is the room vs the instrument. 432hz seems the least resonant of the three examples. I would say you used the least vibrato on 432hz. And to venture into very subjective territory (are my ears tricking me???), the 415hz and 440hz both seemed more in tune than 432hz. I wondered if you were least in love w the sound of 432hz (I know, that sounds crazy). 440hz sounds very agreeable to me, bright yes, by resonant. Then I begin to wonder what 440hz would sound like on a modern bow and instrument setup, so these are other subjective factors. Overall, very cool demonstration, I liked 415 for warmth and 440 for brightness.
