Subject: Tune Req: calling all music theorists
Those of you who are familiar with Phi, the Fibonacci sequence, the golden mean and the like, please consider my question.

To form a Fibonacci sequence of notes in a scale or chords, what should I use to determine the notes?;

Cycles per second? Or is the concept of a man made second too arbitrary.

Start with a very deep B flat, thought to be the pitch of our universe by cosmologists.

Start anywhere but preserve the Phi ratio by frequency beginning at Planks number and go forward / progressively deeper by Phi.

Maybe just begin with one cycle per meter and go higher by Avogadro's number / ratio to establish a standard Phi scale.

I have even more esoteric numbers to use but of course the boundaries of human hearing are paramount to hear the resulting harmonies.

Could a piano be tuned to Phi???



These questions arose as the result of a self replicating cosmological commonality in nature that is fractal in nature and abundant in its proportional expression in living systems be they flora or fauna.

Different perspectives are welcome.
