The Stuttgart Conference of 1834 recommended C264 (A440) as the standard pitch based on Scheibler's studies with his Tonometer.[9] For this reason A440 has been referred to as Stuttgart pitch or Scheibler pitch. In 1939, an international conference[10] recommended that the A above middle C be tuned to 440 Hz, now known as concert pitch. As a technical standard this was taken up by the International Organization for Standardization in 1955 and reaffirmed by them in 1975 as ISO 16. The difference between this and the diapason normal is due to confusion over the temperature at which the French standard should be measured. The initial standard was A = 439 Hz (info), but this was superseded by A = 440 Hz after complaints that 439 Hz was difficult to reproduce in a laboratory because 439 is a prime number.[10]

Doctors and specialists, after making some experiments, found that the pitch at 440, makes humans, less humans... inhumane in 1 word.
So all our digital players, electronic devices at date, transmit sound at 440 sound pitch.

Care to name these "Doctors and Specialists" that claimed that? care to list the papers they published on it?
So all our digital players, electronic devices at date, transmit sound at 440 sound pitch.
Please show a source for that claim.... it also does not make sense!
In fact, how about showing some valid sources for all of your claims?

There is allot, actually not a conspiracy into it, but facts... 432 is harmony with nature and universe
So those who changed it, they wanted people be less harmonic with the creation, nature, universe... Also these changes bring many negative things, such as materialism, etc.
They didnt change it, because it sounds better... is it? So, that alone proves that there is allot behind it.edit on 24-12-2013 by Ploutonas because: (no reason given)

forgive me for that, I am dyslexic and I dont read to much... I am also not english.
But the main issue at this second London congress was that A = 440 was decided especially by instrument makers, especially wind instrument makers, who wanted to be able to export their instruments to the United States, where the influence of jazz had raised the pitch to 440 and well beyond (it later went up to 445 and even 447 in "classical" orchestras, and up to 470 in jazz orchestras ).

The sounds of earth, planets, universe emitting at 432Hz, Pithagoras spoke about it.
stirling
maybe theres a 432 pitch method of tuning stringed instruments???
