2. John Shore (trumpeter) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shore_(trumpeter)

   Over time, tuning forks were adapted for use in medical and therapeutic settings, where their precise frequencies have been harnessed for healing and therapeutic purposes. [3] Tuning forks are known for their nearly pure frequency response, emitting a clear, unwavering tone that is free from the complex overtones found in other instruments.

3. Tuning fork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork

   A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs formed from a U-shaped bar of elastic metal (usually steel). It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone once the high overtones fade out.

4. Scientific pitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch

   Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C 4) being set to 256 Hz rather than ~ 261.63 Hz, [a] making it ~ 31.77 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard.

5. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

   Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are determined by choosing a sequence of fifths [2] which are "pure" or perfect, with ratio :. This is chosen because it is the next harmonic of a vibrating string, after the octave (which is the ratio 2 : 1 {\displaystyle 2:1} ), and hence is the ...

6. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

   Diagram of beat frequency. In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies.

7. Solfège - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solfège

   Italian "solfeggio" and English/French "solfège" derive from the names of two of the syllables used: sol and fa.[2] [3]The generic term "solmization", referring to any system of denoting pitches of a musical scale by syllables, including those used in India and Japan as well as solfège, comes from French solmisation, from the Latin solfège syllables sol and mi.
