What is the need for Standard Tuning and How does RA Music fit in
What is Standard Pitch or Concert Pitch and why do we need it?
Standard Pitch is a universal frequency or note that all instruments are set to. Today’s standard pitch is A440 or C523.3 and this concert pitch enables musicians to play instruments together in harmony. A form of standard pitch has been around ever since two individuals wished to play two instruments together or sing to an instrument. A tuning fork is normally used to set the pitch. However, in the past, pitch pipes have been used, and today electronic tuning forks are also used, but the most common is the tuning fork. The tuning fork was invented by John Shore in 1711 and it had a pitch of A423.5. He was the sergeant trumpeter to the Court and also lutenist in the Chapel Royal.
Of course, once you have your "A" or "C" set to a pitch, the rest of the instrument will have to be tuned. A scale is set in the middle and this scale also determines the pitch of all the twelve notes in the octave. The most common system used to day is known as equal temperament. This sets the pitches of the twelve notes so that the player can play the instrument in all keys by dividing the roughness equally among the twelve notes.
RA Music has confirmed that the choice of John Shore was within .5 HZ ( a very slight difference) of RA Natural Music's "A" at 424 HZ and his choice of 423.5 HZ is the value for the "RED" RA Resonance out of the 9 formats. It is no accident the these historic facts support our theories and research. We are recommending that all music be retuned or converted to RA for for the benefit of he listener and the musical perfomers.

Sharing information about RA Natural Frequency Music is a very important element for the coming months. Re-harmonizing with mother nature is something we all need to include in our sonic surroundings. I see a time coming where there are RA Radio stations the feature continous RA Rock, RA Classical, RA Reggie, Ra New Age, RA Jazz, etc. This will lower the total stress of all who listen.

i know it isnt the same as playing in regular ra tuning but i uploaded my ock music and it was crappy cause of the heavy distortion
lol
so idk if it would be different if it was played rather than converted or maybe if each instrument was converted individually
