Frequently asked questions
What’s the Difference Between 432 Hz, 440 Hz, and 528 Hz?
At AMA Flutes, our Native American-style meditation flutes are available in a range of tuning frequencies, each offering its own subtle essence to enrich your musical journey. Understanding these differences helps you find a sound that resonates deeply with you.
432 Hz Earth Frequency:
Slightly lower than the modern standard, 432 Hz is beloved for its grounding and calming presence. We often recommend 432 Hz for those who facilitate and play for others, such as sound healers or yoga teachers, as it is experienced as especially soothing and supportive of inner peace. This gentle frequency naturally aligns with the Earth’s rhythms, making it an ideal companion for meditative and soulful playing.
440 Hz Contemporary Standard:
This is the familiar tuning widely used in Western music. Opting for 440 Hz provides a versatile, balanced tone that harmonizes easily with other instruments—perfect for musicians or those who already own an instrument like a piano.
528 Hz Harmonic Healing:
Often referred to as the “love frequency,” 528 Hz is cherished for its uplifting, restorative qualities. Many find it inspires an open heart, enhancing moments of introspection and spiritual connection.
At AMA Flutes, we believe that all of these frequencies have their rightful place. There is no “wrong” frequency; each one brings its own benefits, inviting you to choose the tuning that best supports your unique path toward deeper musical expression.
Are AMA Flutes vegan and organic?
To the best of our knowledge, they are. Our dedication to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship shapes every aspect of our flute making.
We choose to work with maplewood, not only for its tonal qualities but also because it is resourcefully harvested, ensuring we respect and preserve nature’s balance. Our unique walnut stain, lovingly applied to each flute, is concocted from entirely organic ingredients, further aligning our creations with our commitment to natural purity.
The finishing touch, a seal of plant-based, food-grade oils, guarantees the preservation of the wood while honoring our ethical stance. This approach not only enhances the flute’s durability but also ensures it remains a product that’s in harmony with vegan principles.
Additionally, in our pursuit of a completely vegan product, we’ve opted for cotton ties instead of leather to secure the block of each flute. This small but significant choice underlines our commitment to creating instruments that are not just musically enriching but also kind to the earth and all its inhabitants.
At AMA Flutes, each flute is a symphony of ethical choices, crafted not just for musical journeys but also for a better, more sustainable world.
