Throughout History: 432 Hz Instruments
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT 432 HERTZ?
432 Hertz (Hz) is a frequency that some people believe has spiritual and metaphysical properties. It has been suggested that it resonates with the natural vibration of the Earth and has a harmonious and healing effect on the human body and mind.
Mozart’s music was tuned to 432 Hz, as were the instruments unearthed in the pyramids.The priceless Stradivarius violins of the 17th Century, all aligned to 432 Hz, were said to almost mimic human voices. The singing bowls of Tibetan monks were also tuned to 432 Hz.
WHAT ARE CYMATICS?
Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration. It involves the visualization of sound waves by placing a material, such as sand, powder, or liquid, on a vibrating surface and observing how the material responds to the vibrations.
As the frequency of the vibrations changes, different patterns and shapes emerge in the material, creating a visual representation of the sound waves.
