What is the Pentatonic Scale and What is a Pentatonic Flute

This sun pitch- is based on the A-

the two different pitches

are called the 440 compromise-

they did this- raising the scale slightly- in order

to bring all the orchestral insturments into tune-

So any classical music you hear now is is slightly off-and has been formatted....

and would sound differently if it was played in the lower scale as originally intended.

Consequently- the Schiller society is against this and has proven that

the new scale tuning has destroyed-and continues to destroy the human voice.

A really interesting topic.

As a sound therapist I keep it in in the original Pythagorean octave and do not use the newer scale for healing-

For learning- the brain has the ability to compartmentalize tones-

that means that it will hear an A- for quite a few different hz-or cycles per second and then will round up or down to the next tone-

So, for the human ear and brain-it is fine to learn both-but if the intention is healing and keeping and honoring the Pythagorean methodology-then of course, the old scale or original is better.....
