lots of interesting information here about natural resonance frequencies in music, but the stone circle stuff is maybe a bit of a stretch . . . interested to hear peoples thoughts about this

What do you think ?
Fwiw I much prefer just intonation which can result in A = 432 Hz but the preference it's due to the new relationships between pitches not the actual frequency of one specific pitch .
Agree the stone circle stuff is best ignored .

I'm a strict 440 man myself.

Always have been and always will be.

There must be standards.

The closest I ever came to any dalliance with the likes of 432, 435 or 443 was when I used to sometimes drop my Telecaster into weird tunings but that was really just youthful folly and playful experimentation. I "got over it", learned to play properly and now when I look back on that period of my life I can put it down to an embarrassing adolescent phase, now best forgotten. A bit like something Morrissey would write a song about.

I understand there are always gonna be those who want to experiment but I say lets all stick to @440 or we'll all end up sounding like The Portsmouth Sinfonia... and not in in a good way.
