Have you ever wondered what it's like to hear a piano tuned to something other than A440
? I bet you haven't, but since there isn't a way to do this online yet why not give it a shot.
Instruments are typically tuned to a set of frequencies based around the A note above middle C being tuned to a frequency of 440 hertz
. Some artists choose to tune their instruments based around other frequencies, for example 432 hertz
.
Nothing on the web, besides this site, allows you to actually experiment with different frequencies. Lots of resources exist that either explain what an aternative tuning is, or shows examples.
I was writing a cover of "Last Christmas" by "WHAM!", when I noticed that none of the notes I played sounded correct even though my guitar was in tune. I had no easy way to attempt to figure out if "Last Christmas" was tuned to A440 like almost every other song.
