Tuning Frequencies: 432 Hz In Sound

Shop Our 432 Hz EarthTone Flute Collection Here

Until recently musical instruments were generally tuned so that the “A” note (of the middle octave on a piano) was tuned to 440 Hertz (Hz) cycles per second, also known as Concert Pitch. 

Concert Pitch was established as the musical standard at the beginning of the 20th century but prior to that instruments were tuned to 432 Hz cycles per second.

Slight changes to the tuning frequency of a musical instrument can alter the quality of feeling of the music being created.This tonal difference in frequency is similar to the subtleties of inflection with the human voice, which can project nuanced variation in feeling or expression.

Though the difference frequency is subtle, we highly recommend that instruments tuned to 432 Hz are paired with other instruments because of their unique 432 Hz frequency, they should only be played with other instruments tuned to the 432 Hz frequency for harmonic balance.

Instruments, like crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz are frequently used in sound healing and are thought to offer energy balancing, as the sound waves move flow through the body on a cellular level.

Whether you choose one of our EarthTone flutes tuned to the 432 Hz frequency, or one of our Traditional flutes tuned to 440 Hz, the peace-healing sounds of the flute will recharge your spirit!
