Love and Music

Is it possible that the current standard for tuning musical instruments causes music to actually be dissonant and out of sync with the natural vibrations of the universe? According to the work of Dr. Leonard Horowitz this is the case.

Love = 528Hz

What is Tuning?

Tuning an instrument means to set the pitch of the strings of a guitar or violin (etc.) to a particular frequency. Taken together, all the strings of the instrument are tuned in relationship to each other so that the instrument can sound aurally appealing.

The current standard for tuning instruments is A=440. This means that the “A” note above middle “C” vibrates at a rate of 440 Hertz, or, 440 cycles per second.

Love = 528Hz

Dr Horowitz’s important work asserts that the frequency of love is 528Hz and that current standards for tuning our instruments do not take this into account. This results in all instruments tuned to the standard A=440 being out of sync with naturally occurring vibrations in the universe.

In order to retune musical instruments so that they are in sync with these natural vibrations we would have to tune middle C to equal 528Hz. To do this the new standard should be A=444. That is, to say that we should tune to A=444 is the same as saying middle C should equal 528Hz.

Dr Horowitz explains the importance of aligning with the proper frequency:

If you go one or two Hertz away, like your radio dial tunes beyond a signal, you stop hearing the clear broadcast. It is still there, but silenced by your ignorance to find the right frequency (channel, signal, station) to hear the uplifting music again.

528Hz, being the frequency of love, is a divine frequency that supports healing and health, and if we retune our instruments then we are supporting increased health, healing and love in musicians and listeners.

Where Does 528Hz Occur in Nature?

If we recognize that all sound, color, and light is frequency vibration then we can more easily understand how music can be in, or out of, sync with nature. Here Dr. Horowitz explains where 528Hz occurs in nature:

Cymatics: Sound on Matter

528, being the heart (the center or midpoint) of the electromagnetic color spectrum, the sound spectrum as well, is the reason chlorophyll and most of the botanical world is greenish-yellow; the reason organic chemistry is based on C-6 (carbon six) hexagonal rings, and the fundamental force (i.e., creative resonance) why water is molecularly structured in tetrahedron-shaped pyramids, alternatively why all snowflakes are hexagonal.

(The study of the effects of sound matter is called cymatics. To understand more about cymatics, particularly, the effects of love vibrations on water molecules, study the work of Dr. Emoto at www.hado.net. Cymatics reveals a natural geometric beauty within all cells and molecules similar to the beauty of a snowflake. Dr. Horowitz’s reference above to geometric shapes can be understood in this light. See image.)

Does This Apply to Classical Music Also?

Classical music, even though it is more soothing than rock or other types of music, has also been generally tuned to A=440. However, it seems to be the case that hundreds of years ago the A=440 standard was not so dogmatically followed and classical musicians sometimes used A<400 or A>440; it was up to the musician’s ear. This Wikipedia article talks about it: A=440

Think of classical music like this: The nature of orchestral instruments is such that they produce soothing sounds but the frequency at which the noises are vibrating are out of sync with the natural vibrations of the universe, as Dr. Horowitz has pointed out, if they are tuned to A=440. They may sound soothing but can still be out of sync.

How Can Musicians Retune?

In my opinion, the best way to tell other musicians how to retune is to tell them to tune to A=444 and that this will automatically put their middle C at 528 Hz. Many digital tuners allow for this easy adjustment.

Some A=444 tuning forks are also available for sale.

It should be noted that the difference in the A=440 standard and the A=444 standard is very subtle. It will take a very trained ear to hear the difference. For this reason, a digital tuner will make it easier to know for sure that the instrument has been retuned properly.

Conclusion

The implications of knowing a love frequency are enormous. If a simple adjustment to the tuning of musical instruments places music within a more harmonious frequency then the real effects of playing or listening to music can be more physically and spiritually uplifting. This is a huge contribution to the raising of consciousness and an easy way for musicians to herald peace on Earth.

    Bravo! I would like to add to the “How Can Musicians Retune?” paragraph: Guitar and bass players with iPhones could use the Lovetunar app to tune to 528Hz by ear. It’s at http://itunes.com/apps/lovetunar or lovetunar.com Imagine if everyone did the same research or at the very least listened to 528 hertz music everyday. Ahha!

    I have played the flute in the Air Force band program for many years and have often wondered as to why we tune to A440. Now, there is this renewed approach to tune to A444. I must try this myself to see what the results may be. It does seem that such a small shift would not make much of a difference. I have noticed that piano tuners tune the upper register of the piano a bit higher for “brilliance”. But, I think the reasons go beyond mere brilliance. Also, musical groups that I have played in also seem to be playing sharper at the end of the practice or concert.

      Alyn, so glad you stopped by. Thanks for the comment. I have been playing my guitars for about six months now in A=444. But when I play along with CD’s I tune to A=440, and lately I have noticed a difference. In A=440 something just feels a little off. At first I didn’t notice it, now I think the difference is becoming more noticeable. I prefer the new tuning so I have been sticking with it. Maybe you will have the same experience? Good luck.
