Just trying to imagine the cost of changing all those affected instruments

or what ever resonant frequency you choose.

ok ..i think I see what you mean.... but how much error is there?
if your talkin about very small numbers (not audible differences) then I think it would not matter if we are talkin about our human range of hearing
(But I could be wrong too)
but if you wanted to use the equations for more precise
experiments or sciences then I would think that yes ...much more accurate measurments would be required.
kinda like the difference between recording a nice 432 song to designing
a zero point energy device....lol

yes frequencies do denote color(after all colors just are different speed
cycles of a wave/particle(actually its the wave itself that creates the particle)
yes is is very interesting that accolt lore and ancient knowledge
seem to use a science that we are just now becoming aware of..
very cool.............
