A @440 is standard only in the US and UK. The rest of Europr uses 442
If I remember correctly and other places use a similar variation.

Not only is 432 hz a lower frequency than 440 hz, the only note that resonates that frequency is A below middle C so every other note on whichever instrument you are playing will resonate differently...
Yeah, it's like people think if you tune to a scale where A is 440Hz, every note you play is 440Hz.

I'd say that the frequencies that create the universe and hold it together are pretty spectacular, you know? The flower of life and all, the symbol which represents unconditional love, just to mention the most obvious. Not sacred ye say?

I mean the vibrations that hold life together, the foundations of which are infinite Fibonacci fractal components of the universe, its a mathematical perfection that is also musical; matter is but frozen music.
Everything is sacred.
It would be interesting to have some music you could prove was set up one way or another and do a blinded test here.
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain
