This isn't the first time I've seen the aC2 argument. But the premise is faulty. Advocates of the aC2 stuff talk about perceived benefits that are tied to temperament and not absolute pitch; simply sliding a whole album 8 cents flat doesn't do anything to address temperament.A Sure, 432 may be some mystic pitch of cosmic mechanical resonance, but since the universe is actually ordered around the natural harmonic series, 12-TET based on 432 is still going to be "out of tune" with the universe on every note but A.A

I tuned my guitar to A432 -- it sounds fine (I mean, you know, for an equal temperament instrument). I'll probably keep it that way for a while. Then I ripped some music to my computer and applied a pitch shift to it. Oddly, while Bob Marley sounds great at A432 the Henry Purcell Fantasias don't sound that great. It's been fun, though.
