I hear Bapu is an expert on Am, he may be able to shed some insight.

I'm glad they brought up the second. Though it wasn't mentioned in that article, many of the boneheads who believe this stuff assert that "432 is a natural universal ratio" of some sort. I find it hysterically stupid that their magic frequency matching this magic ratio is based on a unit Hz, or cycles per second. Because the second is a completely arbitrary unit that is what it is only because of a number of random accidents of history involving the way various people decided to divide up time based on particular cycles that only apply to this particular planet and were later redefined a number of times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second#History_of_definition Since the second is not any kind of universal unit, 432 cycles/second can't be either. Because if you change what "second" means, you won't get 432 any more. And the ratio between 440 and 432 is only ~1.0185. Which means that if Hz had even existed in ancient times, the ancients' definition and measurement of a second couldn't possibly be that accurate or consistent with modern measurements to get the same number 432 anyway.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Pfft. Everybody knows 504.88 Hz is the third harmonic of the frequency of the sun.
Or maybe you subscribe to the 396 Hz magic frequency theory...

I suspect somebody duct-taped a pair of cheap microphones to the sides of a soccer ball, stuck it in front of their laptop speakers, and called it "holophonic" because that sounds, like, scientific and stuff.

for the record.
i tune to 415.30.
have been doing that since about 1995.
partly jimi hendrix, partly eddie van, partly stevie ray,
influenced me to that half step tune down.
now, i'd say it's part of 'my sound' for what ever that's worth...

Thin Lizzy did that too. Fooled me for a while when I was trying to learn 'Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed'.

If 415.30 is good would 415.29 be better? It's juan more.
