HISTORY OF PITCH: 440hz vs 432hz

[@Tarantulah]

Why is there so much music stuff on this cooking channel?

[@toro1618]

you're joking right

[@KSKaleido]

Why is there so much cooking on this meme channel?

[@The_Powerhouse_Of_The_Cell]

+Kaleido Motoring Why are there so many memes on this ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ channel?

[@DJaydoubleA]

Cuz he cookin up them phat beats yo

[@manuel8887]

Yes, he is joking. Jesus...

[@SawtoothWaves]

I think it's great how 420 hertz and 666 hertz actually sound good together. They sound close to an inverted major third interval. Who knew Satan and Marijuana went so well together!

[@OGSumo]

Its the Devil's lettuce

[@rnbw376]

it's the memes, man the memes gotta resonate

[@marrm5763]

[@Nobody5599]

Is it bad that I actually laughed at the "hertz - hurts" joke?

[@8BitTurmoil]

yes its horrible. i suggest carefully throwing your computer out the window and finding your nearest corner to cry in.

[@KalleHullu]

no because it was so bad that it actually was good

[@tropicarls]

not really i laughed too but then again i have crippling depression and self-medicate with memes

[@BandoLyrix]

Nobody5599 I knew it was bad,but if u didn't expect he we would even make a joke then feel free to shit ur pants coz I did

[@EnragedSock]

its weird to think that music is essentially mathematics in noise

[@ledinahebovija3809]

I learned much more from this video than the whole 13 years of music school...

[@ClumsEGirl]

420hz is my fav pitch

[@justken1337]

smonk le weed

[@jaywye]

462606 Hz

[@moecitydon713]

Ashelyyyy

[@kilésengati]

+Jun Yong Park That hurts.

[@jaywye]

kilésengati Well you see, it's 420 and 666 entwined together, which means it's the frequency of dank satan, so I guess it'd be painful, idk

[@JosBtriggaVegaistic]

Frank, thanks so much for making such an awesome video! I do agree frequency is subjective but when you look at the mathematical uses of A =432 thats where it becomes a little more than just taste. Johaness Kepler used this tuning and he would use string length to figure out how the planets worked in space and he actually proved that the planets moved in an elipse instead of perfect circles as it was believed in time all by using harmonic scales. All im saying is, scientific pitch might not be just hocus pocus. theres definitely more to it. either way, your video was really informative and im glad its out there!

[@FrankJavCee]

yeh reality is a really fucking weird song tbh

[@JosBtriggaVegaistic]

+FrankJavCee thats...really deep...Bachs music is actually the closest to Keplerian works. Especially the crab canon. a song that can be played both foward and backward and still be harmonic. it's all just profound and worth a look.

[@jamesgoodman5102]

how does string length relate to the planets in any way? that's a complete non sequitur

[@jamesgoodman5102]

ensuens It's still there. Google plus is a terrible comment system and it makes comments disappear sometimes. Think about this. 1 Hz is defined as 1 reciprocal second. What is a second? It's a sixtieth of a sixtieth of a twenty-fourth of a day. Because sixty has a lot of divisors. If 1 Hz is arbitrary then 440 Hz and 432 Hz are too and have no real connection to astronomy, ya dig?

[@sazm1998]

[@bloocheez3]

Never even knew there was so much drama over pitch. Fascinating information with dead-pan delivery. love it

[@nisbahmumtaz909]

5:23 "Divided by the mass of the string" Important distinction here, Frank. Mass of string =/= Mass PER UNIT LENGTH OF STRING Instead of just whomping in the mass of the piece of rope, it's kind of like the mass of a standard meter of rope. Or the appropriate ratio of however long that rope is per its measured weight. But this is an amazing video nonetheless, and is not like the brainless masses you see from other youtubers who only care about pretty sand formations.

[@vicentealvarado5608]

Yeah, that's actually called "linear density" (mass over lenght of the string)

[@nisbahmumtaz909]

vicente alvarado I had the word density in my mind, but didn't know the proper term. Thanks for that.

[@archaic2849]

HA NERD

[@rzeka]

This is honestly really informative

[@twitchx9113]

I've actually been researching this along with the works of John. C lily on infra-sound. this is one of the more concise and articulate explanations out there lol

[@CyberPixlMusic]

The way you create these short "documentaries" is stunning. *_The perfect mixture between informative and entertaining !_*

[@ken2391]

Excellent. Certainly one of the best documentaries I've seen!

[@JorRob001]

Happy halloween!

[@xisumavoid]

Nice balance of humour and info :-)

[@viceversa1022]

Lol

[@KinodeVGM]

This is amazing! For someone who is gonna do music in college this could be really helpful. I'd love more music history from you!

[@iomakara9809]

I agree!

[@night_fiend6]

I recommend browsing the gearslutz forum. A lot of musicians and producers post on there.

[@Raul-md8bd]

The nazi part is a bit "not real", but everything else is fine, he is a good memer

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Night_Fiend6 "Deaf before dishonor!" lol!

[@zachdiazmusic]

I absolutely love your videos about music theory/history like this one. I'm a graduate student in music theory and I eat this stuff up. Keep it up, proud of you!

[@camslammin8527]

I really appreciate all your videos and music, Frankston. I don't have much, but I always try to give back for all the great free content you put out.

[@Solidsnaik]

I once tried to explain to a friend why A is just defined as 440hz in the western world. It was a never-ending series of "but why?" questions. Very well done.

[@Fumfig]

Your description of the Renaissance is the best part of this video.

[@storiesfortheworms]

I'm not even a musician but I love these videos and Frank. Cool stuff to know, I guess.

[@TheMultifun]

This was so cool. Funny and informative. Really enjoyed the pronounciation of Göbbels.

[@rotttttttttttten]

I love these types of videos Frankie

[@NoUploadJustComment]

Nice job Frank. Really loving these history videos.

[@cheetahpeople4760]

Frank, this video was amazing! I'm not really good at understanding music but I DO understand physics so that beginning part really brought it all together with the parts about frequency that I already knew! Plus learning about how politics shape music is really cool and not something you usually think about. thank u ❤️🎼

[@mcf3681]

What if you named a discovery after yourself, but then had a better discovery and couldn't name it after yourself because you already named another one after yourself.

[@anakimluke]

Liked it! :) Tho with educational-like videos I always expect a HUGE super bibliography section. Would you consider doing it next time?

[@FrankJavCee]

Thanks for reminding me added the bibliography in the description.

[@nullrazor267]

Frank, you're great man! Every time I watch one of your videos, you actually inspire me and I actually start playing with those things myself, like changing the pitch of songs or trying new styles in fl studio. Thank you very much for being so inspiring and for all those fun vids you make.

[@hammercanttouchthis]

You nailed another one, thanks Frank. The History channel needs you, even if you don't need it ✨🌝✌️

[@theutopiansloth5214]

This is SUCH a well done video, holy cow! It's obvious you did a lot of work and research on the subject. Very informative, hilarious, and well edited. Great job m8

[@thecosmospersonified1210]

I love these history videos. Your channel is internet gold.

[@thomascranor9505]

You crack me up. Thank you for your time and work you put in to this. You deserve an award

[@0ona]

wow never thought 12 min vid about whatever shit would be so interesting. keep it up frank

[@KrisSasse]

lol, you're awesome Frank! Much love!

[@jojogape]

sometimes i just play this video as i do other stuff because your voice is so relaxing

[@TruthSurge]

If a person doesn't have perfect pitch, they won't tell a difference anyway. Only difference those old kings could tell is RIGHT AFTER some edict to go from 430 to 435 or 440. The very next concert they hear would sound higher so that would translate to BRIGHTER, HAPPIER, etc. But on the whole, it really doesn't matter because you are always just a semitone away from a new note anyway. Just play the piece transposed up 1 semitone and fuggetaboutit.

[@ianfisher9362]

dude, this was seriously enlightening

[@EminorEntertainment]

Been rewatching these old videos lately

[@MasterAirsoftGunner]

thanks for replying to the twitter DM's.

[@fkthai]

Gracias por la magia Francisco

[@ScreamingAtVespas]

Really Cool, now have everything tuned to 432Hz. Sounds really nice.

[@watzittooya7495]

I appreciate that you upload in 60fps

[@patrickkerr6159]

I can't believe i've only just found this channel! You're my new favourite youtuber fml :'D

[@haleyackerman2910]

Love your research on this tuning matter...great video and sense of humor!

[@quatlego]

You're so smart man, thanks for making this explanation simple for people.

[@starshkr46]

Frank video on my birthday, excellent. Very cool topic and I learned about it.

[@Clovelt]

This video was spot on. Seriously. Explains all of the basics in a dank enough manner, and the rest is very informative and entertaining. Gonna do both esp and e̶n̶g̶l̶i̶s̶h̶ subtitles asap, so I can share it w/friends. Edit: just sent english subs, hope they get verified quickly Great job, Frank! I'm loving these

[@jahmo0]

Top notch Frankie Sriracha

[@vaderanomaly1573]

Thanks for educating us, honestly, this is awesome.

[@uberphailyer]

hey thanks for the research bud. I appreciate people that are curious and can share knowledge in a clean and concise matter while cracking quick jokes in between. very good style and editing.

[@lilbee281]

Woah... I didn't understand most of this video but I enjoyed every second of it.

[@Yuki-rh1ie]

wow dude you did some SERIOUS research!

[@Scratch_Gobo]

Also, fun fact, strings and percussion instruments do get flat in the heat and sharp in the cold (because temperature affects tension), but wind instruments actually get sharp in heat and flat in cold because of how excitable the air molecules are

[@psychedelicwalrus357]

Holy shit man, this is sick. Really digging the informative vids, you have a bright future in infomercials

[@kz1000ps]

Ahhhh I have perfect pitch and it kinda fucks with my mind to imagine an A at anything other than right around 440. Like you got me going to wiki reading up on concert pitch, and way back in the medieval ages A sat at 415 Hz, which is SO much flatter than where it's at today. My brain literally can't even

[@rallokkcaz]

Frank this is great, I like your style with these educational videos. Somehow you keep it informative and sarcastic, also nice to hear some real info on pitch.

[@AndrewHassel]

Well written. Thanks Frank Jav CEEEEE

[@tuomasgrannas3656]

O shit under 1000 club wat up fam

[@randomvids779]

you know that was actually a quality vid, solid work frank

[@juliansisneros6897]

Good video very informative I liked it very much thank you Frank

[@leotorres680]

I honestly love this and all of your other videos so much. Thank you !! :))

[@bigeasychamps]

I read an autobiography by Mozart, he wrote "whether its 432 or 440, it Hertz when I pitch a tent these days." I think that settles it.

[@matthewkaras8227]

A=440Hz is not standard for all Western orchestras. Many in Europe use 442Hz.

[@MinkyBoodle44]

Hey, love the vid, my d00d, but I just want to point out that colder temperatures actually makes instruments flatter, while warmer weather makes instruments tend sharper. Thnx and I ❤️ u

[@spencerschoening5355]

512 comments. Not any more. Down with 512. Thank you so much for doing this video. This has been fascinating me for a while and I could not get to the bottom of it. Keep it up; this and the colors video were both longtime itches that you scratched masterfully.

[@xxhalogirl1027xx]

I'm glad I found your channel. You've earned a new sub with a great, educational, and humerous video. Thanks for posting and helping me with my reseach paper!

[@GuitarbenderS]

these videos are so great thnx frank ily

[@RegularGuyJake]

God I love your videos. Keep putting out quality content. Also aesthetic.

[@yummyjackalmeat]

Dude great video. I love geeking out about tuning! you are awesome. I will point out that professional orchestras these days tune to 442 and some even to 443.

[@FF-qo6rm]

i thought this was going to be boring but damn... nice work

[@Neeldog]

This was super cool! :o your videos get better and better every time tbh

[@sercio994]

This video is simply amazing, 100% quality for real.

[@DumbSnowman]

I detune the shit out of my melodies, it's almost as if the music I make doesn't even use an existing scale

[@JeremyMcElhone]

same here. idk if you like the Gorillaz but a lot of their tracks on the first album of theirs has music tuned outside of the standard pitch.

[@markussther5326]

This video was great. I've been looking in to the subject and this helped a lot!

[@RememberPluto]

Frank your video are like the best on video. Thanks for being fucking amazing.

[@wiiu7640]

438 hertz is perfect to me it sounds like the brightness of 440 and the realness of 432.

[@MrAnders1976]

Completely agree.. 438Hz is modern A4 and not 440Hz.. 438Hz the upper limit for A4 with 12-TET for heavy dramatic voices. Above that the passaggio is shifted to far north.. And you can't cast the proper heavy voices for puccini, Verdi etc. 435Hz for A4 was the true comprimise between the lower dark (mozart and Händel pitches) around 424/425Hz and the bright ones too high for the "correct" vocal fahcs (above 443Hz). 435Hz just works.. Decided by a large comittee in 1858-1859 in France.. Confirmed again in Vienna in 1885 with forks meassuring on average around A4=435.3Hz and decided this as their standard pitch.. The deal with 432Hz is that it limit any early reigster shift.. Notes sits very easy around the passaggio. especially for the darker dramatic voices..But to my ears 432Hz is slightly too low for "pop" music. A little vocal "lift" with early transition at the passaggio fits that genre and aiming for tuning 435Hz with electric guitars and bass put you just slightly sharp of 435Hz.. Ideal for a standard pitch..

[@noambirnbaum4010]

This is your best vid so far!

[@RD500v2]

also nice mix of pieces in the bg

[@umpow_er9069]

I don't understand a shit about those numbers, but, still watching

[@FreshSkibbityPaps]

I will forever remember this as the night that Lisa from Bob's Burgers taught me the history of pitch.

[@rkerr9754]

Thanks so much for your videos, they are actually very helpful

[@joshgardner8238]

Hey frank in your next video you should talk about Inharmonicity and the Pythagorean comma, or why it's impossible to actually tune a piano perfectly. It's kind of mind blowing. They touch on it in a minute physics video but there's more to it. Interesting stuff.

[@zetaruler]

This was extremely confusing seeing as I don't know anything about music, but still very entertaining nonetheless. Thx frank

[@WobbuffetClock]

I like the Gymnopedie in your educational bits! I remember hearing about something like the start on Coast to Coast AM. Also, for your next tutorial, can you do a Baltimore/Philly/Jersey Club one?

[@JabatheEpic]

this video makes me sober.. thanks idubz

[@hellblazerjj]

Thank you that really cleared things up for me. I started reaearching this about 4 hours ago and I didn't know what to believe anymore. But you explained this so well I was able to reconcile my intuition with a reasonable evidence based view of reality. And you reminded me of the comforting reality that chaos (or I guess maybe incompressible quantum probability foamyness) has a large role in steering reality and no human however powerful actually knows the future or what the fuck they are doing. 🎉 thank goodness existence is absurd and ridiculous. Otherwise it would be so dull and terrifying. Embrace ansurdity.

[@hexmaniac]

you use gymnopedie no. 1 quite a bit
