[@GoldenGunner111]

[@MadMatty01]

You make it sound like standard procedure for drummers to tune their instrument by Hz, but it's really not. Even roughly tuning by notes is somewhat uncommon. Most people just tune to a pitch where the combination of shell and head sounds good and harmonizes with the rest of the kit.

[@1976oswald]

i work just with 432 hz now

[@NerismaStudios]

Thing is it's not standard procedure, but I personally like accuracy when I tune my drums. If I'm in a pinch though, I have quick-tuning methods that get my drums sounding good quickly without a lot of fuss. All it takes is knowing how the science of a drum-head works.

[@jamesmills7255]

Definitely the best examination of this subject I have so far seen. Having pitch shifted a few of my favourite songs down to A=432Hz a while ago, to see how they sound compared with the original tuning, I must admit I do prefer some of them at the altered frequencies. However, this is because the slightly lower pitch can make the music sound less harsh on the ear and have a nicer tonality. Or, as you mentioned, perhaps there is just a placebo effect.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

I would recomended to you to seek what your ear feel the most pleasant! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@killerrosebudiscool]

I'd say it sounds a little darker of a tone. For example, horror movies should definitely use 432 hz tuning because it sounds to me like a natural minor

[@castle6660]

Unfortunately...lying about the test conditions mean this experiment is null and void. This wasn't even an experiment. Nothing was proven.. nothing was disproven.

[@veggimellom1872]

i agree. The higher tuning is more harsh for the ears. In a way that will tell us that the lower is more healing ^^ because of the straining on the ears with the higher. When we get old some of us looses the highest frequencies.

[@othala7540]

[@mnfreeman]

One of the best tests is to take a tone generator and listen to A at 440 vs 432. The A tone at 432 sounds softer and a bit wider. The A at 440 sounds tighter and harsher. Don't base it on spiritual stuff, base it on what the sound physically feels and sounds like

[@keyboardtek]

I think that may be just your ears. Other than a difference in frequency, my brain does not associate those descriptive characteristics. But then I was an electronic keyboard repair tech for 38 years and listened to zillions of tones.

they do sound warmer. tuning lower usually does. but it only sounds warmer because you also heard the 440 version. 420 would sound warmer than 432, etc.

Sounds warmer/better because our ears are used to hearing music in 440hz. any deviation from 440hz (higher or lower) will sound interesting... and sometimes better

[@trickedouttech321]

I love this video! I wonder how many MoFo's had to backpedal once you said I lied. That was the best video on the subject ever! great job calling out the 8Hz junkies. I think many different tunings sounds great all depending on the music. As long as all your other notes are in tune with one another it will sound smooth and good to the ear. doesn't matter if you've tuned down 1/2 step or 2 steps or up the same. As long as all notes are tuned to sync your golden.

[@thekingmonarch]

I love the way you did this video. The twist was very intriguing. So I happened upon a copy of this frequency chart claiming to be the original value of notes. These notes are said to correspond to the resonant frequencies based upon the geometric laws of the universe. I have it lying around somewhere, and yes A happened around 432 cycles, although I think it was actually slightly lower. I created a piano scale with these frequencies mapped the best I could, all of them being, slightly off of what they would be in the commonly recognized scale. I used a moog and a tuner on my computer, but in reality the notes were precise down to a 100th of a cycle so I can't speak to what degree of accuracy I was able to maintain. I did notice that the notes did seem to resonate better, but that, could be as you said, a placebo effect. One thing of note is that dissonant notes seemed to sound less off. I think this could be due to the fact that the actual degree of the scale was a more even mathematically and created less phase juxtapositions. If you're interested I could see if I could find the scale and republish the frequencies.

[@acousticknights9654]

If anyone's interested in this subject, or alternate tunings, I would suggest researching scientific tuning and the reasoning behind it. Also, regardless of tunings, there is a problem with experiments of this precise type that seem to be flooding KZbin. The problem is that the human ears adapt too readily to alternate tunings and which ever song is played next will either sound sharp or flat as a result of the expected measure. To truly test any merit to the 432 hz tuning, you would have to look at things completely differently. Sound amplification, wave visualizations, and how an instrument holds up to the strains of the different Hertz throughout time are just a few things to consider. Perceptions are subject to Placebo effects, as you mentioned. It's no wonder why you came into this experiment and left with the same biase, given the method of experimentation. I don't prescribe to any specific tuning, nor suggest that someone get stuck in one, but I hate the scienceless biases that everyone seems satisfied with. It's as one sided as someone offering nothing on why it's better and saying everyone should switch...which I've seen plenty of that as well. Bah, this world

[@RicardoAldana1988]

It´s called comfort zone and it has to do with the fact that we are used to some conceptions that it occurs that could it be missconceptions.. like what we hear and how we hear it! I would suggest 430 with a slidely turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint! there's also a theory which may has to be what you reffers.. it's called Scientific Pitch Tuning or Phytagorean-Phitagoric Tuning it can differ but not much.. they're pretty all the same base with differents apreciations.. approaches and aproximations to give pretty close results too!

[@castle6660]

Also to make an experiment of this kind legit.. he would have to actually play half of them in 432 and the other half in 440. Forcing people to choose between two categories.. while lying about the categories.. makes this experiment nonsense.. people were forced to choose between two...when in reality there were many different choices. This experiment was nonsensical and didn't prove nor disprove anything.

[@quailstudios]

Hey Steve, I love it when you said I lied! That was really sweet. In the 60s we can find recordings by Led Zeppelin and other famous bands not tuned exactly to 440. In the 70s when sound engineers were mastering popular music in the Los Angeles area - sometimes they would speed up a recording just a little bit to raise the pitch - which also sped up the song a tiny bit - they felt that this technique helped the songs to stand out from others that were being mastered at regular tuning - whatever that was at the time.

[@MrAnders1976]

Quail Studios Guitar Another studio trick was to record the instrumental track at 440hz. Then slow it down some 30 cents and let the singer record at this lower easier pitch and then speed up the vocal track to match the 440hz instrumental track. The effect is obvious when you now what to listen for. Madonnas 80s stuff sound manipulated this way. The 32 cents detune (432hz) from 440hz prevents early register shift for many voices. This effect was demonstrated by some famous opera singers in the 80s

[@afipia7]

Yet tthey even use C-256 and A-432 tuning forks a the doctors office to test nerve responses and such. Again, God made things the way they are. The fact that there is such a dogmatic resistance to this is almost . . . Evil.

[@kbproweb]

I've had some people resist simply because they don't want the hassle of having to deal with changing the tuning they use to create music. They call it nonsense so they don't have to deal with it. It is a hassle if you're working with other musicians, so that's understandable, but to actually get angry about it? What's that all about?

The result was my best year of songwriting ever; by a long shot, and with the same habits. Maybe it was coincidence, but it didn't feel that way. I play in 440 now so that I'm in tune with the norm, but if I ever finish up my songs from last year I'll go back to 432 for more.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@randbproductions]

I tuned my guitar completely by ear with no reference point. The result? I had tuned my guitar to exactly 430 and some strings slightly up or down for more intonation within the instrument.

[@andrewcampbell2903]

Well done , sir . I'm sure you surprised most or at least many of us . I hope to test it for myself ,, as best I can , on brass instruments . I am always flat when I tune up with my brass band . I simply play the natural tone according to my embouchure without a reference tone . I simply wonder , in this case if the tone that naturally results may be better , warmer , rounder , etc .

[@youngkovicmusic.6056]

great work, great video !

[@virusladd]

I thought they all sounded off except for the jazzy one

[@Steve-mq9sg]

Samurai Scientist, I like it :)

[@brizkatwal1540]

432Hz frequency creates the feeling of more compassion and directly resonates with Heart chakras thru Solar Plexus chakra !!

[@marco89lcdm]

Wow blow my mind 👍👍 good one sensei!

[@TranceCore3]

I don't think 440 or 432 sound better or worse than the other, but there's definitely a color difference. Gives me an idea to write in A@432, because I've only ever wrote music at A@440

[@djsilent01]

I agree exactly. there was a definite color difference.. which is what I've been looking for...

[@yvngpierre1063]

[@timchalmers1700]

Best ever video on 432 vs 440. Best ever musical examples on 440 vs 432. And yeah, I liked all of the examples because the instruments were in tune with each other.

[@briancherry8088]

I thought the second sounded better, and warmer in all but the last example, which sounded almost identical. In each case I thought they sounded nice, but then warmer and richer in the second tuning. At least now I know what that 440 number is on my tuner! Thank you, Sensei.

[@austynwoodliff3190]

I've been doing this for years without knowing it was conspiracy. I always felt like tuning it to 432 sounded a bit fuller

[@TytoMobile]

The lower tunings just sounded like a slow record player, having been played after the higher ones.

[@pecemk69]

Jokes aside the certain frequency of synchronicity as in 432hz and many similar frequencies the vibration you feel in your being from these frequency matches with your chakras of your being are allways going to be feeling happier and free the test was not done right in this video and I'm positive everyone who watched it will agree that the mentioned tunings before of reveal of the mistake made still you felt happier every time you heard 432hz LOVE AND LIGHT 🙌🏻❤

[@FFVison]

Not to mention that if you are moving, you will experience variations in pitch due to the Doppler effect and even if you could account for those, you also have variations in movement which alters how you experience time itself as per the theory of relativity. Then, I also heard an episode of Science Friday on NPR that featured a talk about "leap seconds" and how they would add or even subtract seconds to the correct official time. The fact of the matter is that just playing an instrument, your instruments will go out of tune periodically and no one will notice. Just enjoy the music.

[@prepecenihleb1679]

I generally liked the second versions better because they felt softer and more soothing

[@billymurphy6910]

The last few seconds BLEW my F*C*I*G mind! YOU LIED TO ME!

[@shinersoundstudio4479]

Trying to bust a myth using a lie is like knowing the devil lives in the path of the moon. None the less, great job playing, recording, mixing, editing and displaying this piece of entertainment. Good luck going forward.

Well played, you've earned a subscriber

[@i_am_B-and]

i tuned vocal chords to 432 and now i can sing like a canary i tuned my mind to 432 and now i have telekinetic abilities i tuned my body to 432 and now im a demigod

[@filipdimic7651]

You tuned your soul to 432 and you became an idiot of entire universe!

[@scumprophet3630]

At first I was like “man that 432 stuff sounds pretty good, and then after you revealed the goof I thought “ the metal kid in me probably just prefers lower tunings

[@MaltomaniaGamer]

I liked the 432 on the fourth one, it sounded cool with that jazzy bit

[@user-yu4hl2lf7z]

Okay thank god, as someone who's produced music for almost a decade, my ears kept telling me something was off with the examples. I swore I was hearing subtle differences between the examples but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt haha . Thank you for explaining that at the end or that might have kept gnawing away at my mind for at least a week 😆

[@yummyjackalmeat]

I agree. It's just BS. I do just like tuning lower. If someone plays at A415hz I feel EVEN MORE drawn to that. There isn't anything special about 415, or 410, 432, or 442, or 440. People try to prove why something is "good" when all they need to say is "I like it because I just like it." 15 or so years ago people were freaking out because orchestras were starting to tune to 442. It's all kinda dumb to me and a way to avoid taking responsibility for your own music and your own opinions.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

It´s called comfort zone and it has to do with the fact that we are used to some conceptions that it occurs that could it be missconceptions.. like what we hear and how we hear it! I would suggest 430 with a slightly turn up intonation to 431 hz aprox by ear as equal modern temperament! it´s all in the ear and 432 it´s a good mathematical reference and startpoint

[@jacksonpriest2033]

Ricardo Aldana you said the exact same thing on another comment

[@edilbertolopez9514]

yummyjackalmeat its making others difficult for others to imitate yourcomposition. if theresva note in between mi and fa ti and do ill use it and people whovaccidentally like my musicwill be in a quandary on how to play it. just wait til I can invent a microphone that can make my voice into blended four voices automatically

[@TopRacer-tx5cd]

415. Baroque tuning XD

[@eduf93]

It's said that 432Hz is the frequency of human hearing, that's why It's said to be in harmony with the universe. Also, changing the frequency of a song will affect your brain activity, showing results of serenity in 432Hz, opposed to the more nervous and rushed approach you get from a higher frequency - 440Hz.

[@samuraiguitarist]

I'd be curious as to where you get your sources and what you mean by that. The range of human hearing is generally considered 20Hz-20kHz with the highest sensitivity around the 3kHz area (where a lot of the consonant sounds are).

[@eduf93]

I did not explain myself properly, what I meant to say was that we all hold a certain vibrational frequency, and our bodies are estimated to be about 70% water. It's factual that musical frequencies affect our own state of vibration, which is responsible for our own state of matter. Every expression through sound, emotion, or thought holds a frequency. That given frequency influences everything around it, much like a drop of water creating a larger ripple effect in a large body of water. Experimenting with these frequencies led people to the conclusion that music tuned in A=432 Hz is not only more beautiful and harmonious to the ears (This is what I tried to say, even if It's subjective), but it also induces a more inward experience that is felt inside the body, at the spine and heart (vibrational state closer to human body frequencies,). Music tuned in A=440 Hz offered a more outward and mental experience, and was felt at the side of the head and then projected outwards. Audiophiles have also stated that A=432 Hz music seems to be non-local and can fill an entire room, whereas A=440 Hz can be perceived as directional or linear in sound propagation. Resuming, our body accepts this frequency more naturally.

[@RicardoAldana1988]

one thing it's the range of frequencies that we can hear and another the frequencies that we are more reliable to get in tuning.. play or even hear in order to the sound and more so by his form and way of propagation by itself and the retaliation that can it cause frequencies not so reliable due to it's randomness and arbitrarily and deterministic standarization that can be rather than harmful!

[@RicardoAldana1988]

there are plenty of experiment in physic.. like chladni plates.. tonoscope and specific area like cymatics and other kind of studies of wave phenomena.. vibration and sound that may suggest for the results that are certain kind of frequencies that works in a diferently way in a non-arbitrarily arrengement that can be observe by geometric forms and patterns inherent to the wave sound and explain it in math by the harmonic analysis of forma and the superpoition of basic waves into chart of various waveforms that thrown results that are linked to number or representation theory (128-432 array of number in a scale or harmonic series of number.. 9 matrix number.. harmonic series.. pitagorean scale).. theory of groups (projective geometry.. euclidian geometry..) signal processing (for numerical analysis.. genomic and time-frequency analisys.. continous-time and non-linear signal processing.. reverberation for pshycoacoustics).. quantum mechanics (from string theory to wave function eigenvalue and in general the whole subject by his singularity that made it apliable from the mechanics itself to the math and biology or chemistry).. the tidal analysis to explain and correlates the behaviour of the spheres.. big masses of water and all organic tides to a general relativeness that it can correlate to the neuroscience and the human nature and behaviour .. it seems pretty obviuos that we can just simply study facts and data by separate like the classical science do and make rational statements but in fact that's too obvious and that's not science works and have been evolved ince the earth isn't flat and irrational staments made new conjectures that are finally prove time to time..

[@ptsdjoe4956]

Ricardo Aldana What the hell did you just try to say?!!!

[@fredfloyd34]

Brilliant samurai...Yeah you can reallt feel the change in your body...Can you imagine what A440 does to the body...

[@felinefurball]

Hi, Samurai, thumbs up for the insane amount of research for your content 👍👍😅

[@jacquesstephens8330]

Pay attention to how you FEEL. Your ears are adjusted to 440hz so it will take some time for 432 to sound 'right'. But you should certainly feel calmer. 432hz is the frequency that creates the most significant symmetry and patterns in water and particles. Beethoven and indeed ALL music until the 1940/50s was tuned to 432hz. It was changed by governments and media institutions to do with orchestras, as 432 appears to fill the room, rather than being localised. After using a 432hz converter for a while, 440 will not only be the one to sound strange, but will make you feel more irritable. This is widely observed

[@kaethomas8933]

440 makes my gums hurt. Noticed It today.

[@brianprinty112]

Stop giving my guitarist ideas! He's gonna make me retune all my drumheads

HAHA! This is brilliant. Goes to show the power of the placebo effect even in music. Great job Samurai guitarist I love your videos. Keep up the quality content.
