Musician's Corner Wondering what 432Hz means? Traditionally music instruments are tuned to 440Hz standard. Going through some difficult periods I discovered the healing power of listening to 432Hz music, so why not tune and sing to this more harmonic healing frequency. A parishioner came up to me after one of my masses, amazed how well the music system sounded in the church. The only difference from my pre-COVID settings is tuning to 432Hz, as acoustic harmonics in this frequency helps improve the live sound and also for the listener.
