Music in 432hz...good for your chakras or New Age best sold mumbo jumbo?

This is a response I gave to a member.
The standard of tuning A at 440hz was official until the 20th century and the reasons are for musicians not having problems with other musicians playing in ensemble(wind instrument players are the most affected and in some instruments you cannot change the tuning since there are instruments that will be impossible to tune up or down the A=440hz...instruments like ocarina but you will have to buy every ocarina for every tuning) but today there are many orchestras tuning their instruments up to A=450hz and that is insane.
Did we all tuned our instruments at A=432hz before 1930? no, in French chamber music the prefered tuning was A=398hz, in German baroque music there were tunings from A=415-465hz...http://pbosf.blogspot.com/2010/01/story ... pitch.html On a personal level, I prefer the A=415hz.
There are temperaments for music and your A=432hz will sound highly different in every music temperament...


If we could play music together...you playing your instrument in A=432hz and using Equal Temperament but me tuning A=432hz and using "Unequal temperament" then we will sound "out of tune" and terrible because there will be huge differences in hz between us.
The above is a reason of why people are purchasing historical musical instruments and adapting themselves for the demands of the past...this gives a more legit performance.
This is a Folia(has origins in Spain and then this tradition was exported to other European countries) composed by a Baroque composer Alessandro Scarlatti and in this case the performers used the historical instruments that the composer composed for and the ones he could have heard in his life...the A could be in A=415hz as this was the agreed tuning but also 420hz by other composers from the same era who prefered more brillian tunings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4m1KHjp03M
Check this performance on Unequal temperament, the composer Debussy(I think he was into a Rosicrucian Lodge) was an Impressionist and his piano solos has more life on Unequal temperament tunings.

The same piece but on Equal Temperament piano:

Since humanity developed their own temperament and music scales then this is the reason of why there exists a huge variety of musical instruments. Check the folk ancient Chinese instruments like the Dizi. The Dizi is an instrument not so compatible with Western/Conservatoire music since this was originally tuned in other music temperaments and this makes a difference in the music you compose...it was in the 20th century that makers decided to make their dizis in equal temperament and this was a shock for Music academies that prefered Non-Equal Temperament instruments.
The A=432hz is a new age thing that can be easily debunked.Ol argedco luciftias wrote: https://youtu.be/VVgWIOYPBlE Tomhet and https://youtu.be/1lgz7YLPJbg Emptiness by Burzum. They are the exact same song except Tomhet was played with synthesizers and Emptiness used real instruments. This is definitely the most relaxing song I know of and the most effective and quickest way to get me into a very deep trance. I found a version of Tomhet that has been tuned so A4=432hz. The tuning based on this note value is aligned with the natural vibrations of the universe, so it feels much stronger and more connective to my chakras. This tuning was the standard until someone changed the standard to 440 in the 1930s, which is harsher and far more disconnected from the strongest energies. You can guess who did that. A great example of the relaxation and easier natural connection of 432 tuning is Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. They used this. https://youtu.be/UPdlJFDpU6o
Just hum songs into your Susumna. High and low frequencies are destributed automatically between the top and bottom of the path, and all of them strongly contribute to your vril and openness of energy flow. This works equally well with invoking the elements if you focus on one. Humming music to me often feels much more powerful and faster than actual mantras do, probably do to music's emotional connections to me. It doesn't matter what kind of music you use as long as you like it.
