Now if you want to try and prove to me accurately that the people who ORIGINALLY decided on the standard were each a member of the NAZI party, I might be interested in your NWO theory. Please stick to the facts.

Just follow the Timaeus Locris Scale for the main frequencies derived from PLATO:

Figure 7 on page 14:
RATIOS: FREQUENCIES:
9/8 384 Mi = Earth = 8 x 8 x 6

9/8 576 La
9/8 648 Sol

256/243 9216 La
9/8 10368 Sol = 384 x 27 = Heaven
==================
Sum = 114695
Locrian started with number 384.
Plato started with number 192.
The Heaven frequency: 10368 = 192 x 54 = 96 x 108 = 48 x 216

Over the range of an octave, say either 256 to 512, or 432 to 864, what complete set frequencies should be included, so as to include all twelve pitch classes (with possible variants of a single class to accommodate various intervals)?
From what I can see, we can agree on...
C 256
C#\Db ???\???
D 288
D#\Eb ???\???
E 324
F ???
F#\Gb 364.5\???
G 384
G#\Ab ???\???
A 432
A#\Bb ???\???
B 486
C 512
How do we fill in the ???'s (and there can be more, too)? Do we use an extended Pythagorean spiral, like something that'd allow us to have a C# of 540.518, or 432[(3:2)^45]:2^26, or an alternate E of 320.31 for that matter?

do you think you could figure out what the sollfegio frequencies
would be if they were at 432?
that would be cool
thanx

cool
The B.B.C. tuning-note is derived from an oscillator controlled by a piezo-electric crystal
that vibrates with a frequency of one million Hz. This is reduced to a frequency of 1,000 Hz
by electronic dividers; it is then multiplied eleven times and divided by twenty-five, so
producing the required frequency of 440 Hz.

Shouldn't 364.5 be an F# if we carry out the Pythagorean logic that prevails up to that point?

No, in Pythagorean logic 364,5 is F instead of F#.
The table is:
Re A 216 432 864 1728 3456
Ut B 243 486 972 1944 3888
Si C 256 512 1024 2048 4096
La D 288 576 1152 2304 4608
Sol E 324 648 1296 2592 5184
Fa F 364,5 729 1458 2916 5832
Mi G 384 768 1536 3072 6144
Bobby also made a mistake by selecting for F: 341
