Thoroughly in the "what the song needs" camp.
Happily though, every song needs a complex line.

What are fleeces?
My bad. I meant reeds.

Dutch classical pianist Daniël Wayenberg, after cöcking up during a relatively light-hearted Sunday afternoon concert, went down on his knees and crawled under the grand piano to pick up the missed notes, to then throw those notes back into the piano and play the piece from the start again - - playing well, this time.
The audience lurved it.-

I don’t think an oboe could do it either.That might be the only valid argument for 432 I’ve ever seen.
Horrible sounding things!
IMS, technically, they can have different reeds with them so they can tune to a piano or an organ or somesuch, but indeed:
When doing a gig with an orchestra (me on the organ), the oboe player was well grumpy initially, and explained what a hard time she had with this.
Me, I don't really know what the problem is, but at a guess: they're not bringing 60 reeds to cater for a whole range of to-be-expected tuning standards.
Edit: had used the word "fleece" for "reed".

What a load of nonsense.
Octaves based on 8hz are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512.
People will believe anything it seems. 🤦♂️😂
Haven't watched the vid, but if the C=512, then the A can well be 432, depending on the system.
The nonsense is not in the arithmetics, but in the taking random frequencies as being somehow "better".-

Our fantastic friend "Anonymous" has made another kind matching offer to get this over the line.
👏👏👏
Very highly appreciated.
(and if he/she extends the matching offer to this thread, responding to each and every comment, we can easily reach the new 32 page target! 😉 )-

I think we should set a new target.
Together we can make this 31 pages!-

One point of a four might be that (if true) one never gets "that" low E timbre from a five.
Just throwing this in: I have no idea myself, but this was said by a producer in a well-known studio. Me, I'd imagine that a wider neck's stiffness would indeed change the timbre, but you guys must know a lot more about this than I do.-

Echoing @Happy Jack:
"I know, I know, but it does really good bass sounds too ..."
(for the unitiated: it's two Behringer 2600s, the tiny and cheap ARP 2600 clone, each spawning three oscillators and most of what you need to make a bass monstah).
