Thanks Christopher,
but I think I was misunderstood.
This question is the last of my problems, my life goes on anyway, I have got other problems more important than 432 Hz.
I don't want to show nothing, other people suggest the 432 Hz theory, not me.
But I'd like this people show us a good explanation; till now I only read about strange concepts and mathematical considerations without sense because of the "second" conventionality,as I said formerly. Period. No problem.
But I'm happy you, Skye and other friends gave me your opinions, :-)

I'm curious too, why 1 second = 1 second, but since I redefined my observations (thanks to this discussion here) - this issue is no longer related to sound and music for me. Now I can separately 1) manipulate proportional systems with each other 2) seek for resonant fields - with no concerns that 1-st concept is strictly connected to 2-nd one.

There are some folks who did really really scientific research on "432Hz" music perception, but I guess they focused too much on specific numbers, evading the rest. Or my knowledge is outdated (-;

31 cent ??? WoooooooooooW !

So the 7-th overtone must be somehow related to this !
May be thats why it sounds so deep-hearted !

It is 31 cent lower than on the piano - tempered tuning. :D

There are many different tempered tunings but you are probably thinking of 12TET (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament)
The deviation between 440 and 432 Hz is 31.8 cent (log(440/432)x1200/log2)
The deviation between 7/4 (968,826 cent) and the equal tempered small seventh (1000 cent) is - as you can see - 31,174 cent.
So it is not the same thing.
The natural seventh sounds so deep hearted because it is part of the harmonic series!! -It IS the universal music.

Hi folks, if you are aiming at tuning a symphonie orchestra in 432 you will have work hard. It is ok to make a piece of music for different metal gadgets like forks, knifes and other kitchen utilities not tuned in 440. Ask an oboeist about tuning?

Greetings
Iver
