432Hz vs 440Hz — Choose Your Tuning
| Tuning | Best For | Why Choose This |
|---|---|---|
|
440Hz (Standard Tuning) |
• Most beginners • Follow online tutorials • Playing with other instruments |
Universal tuning is used worldwide. If you’re unsure which to pick, choose 440Hz — it matches all standard music, lessons, and collaborations. |
|
432Hz (Soft, Healing Tone) |
• Sound healing • Meditation • Gentle, soothing solo play |
Slightly softer, warmer tone often preferred for relaxation. Ideal if you play mainly for meditation and don’t need to match other instruments. |
Quick tip: If you’re not sure which tuning to choose, go with 440Hz. It’s the simplest, most flexible option for beginners.
