High Spirits Native American Style Flute EarthTone in Key of A, Aromatic Cedar

EarthTone© Flute – Key of "A" Minor – 432Hz Frequency Tuning In the world of music there has been a revival of tuning instruments to lower frequencies of sound vibration.  Until recently, most musical instruments have been tuned so that the “A” note (of the middle octave on a piano) is tuned to 440Hz (Hz = cycles per second).  This is known as Concert Pitch and was established as a standard at the beginning of the 20th century.Our EarthTone© wooden flutes use a 432Hz frequency for the “A” note and all other notes are aligned accordingly.  When played alongside flutes that are tuned to the frequency of 440Hz, the 432Hz tonal difference is very subtle.  The 8Hz of tonal difference are seemingly slight in degree but can be perceptibly different when experiencing the feeling of the music we hear.   Much like the subtle inflection of the human voice that can project a subtle variation in feelings, an instrument using a slight change in frequency can alter the feeling quality of the music
