Hi,

There is a very commonly made mistake in the sound and music healing
article.

It says:-

"The original scale is a more natural scale based on Pythagorean mathematics
and natural harmonics," says Cottrell. "For example, the harmonic overtones
that you naturally hear in chants done by Buddhist monks that seem to
vibrate and tremble are based on the natural scale."

The Pythagorea bit is wrong (though the Natural sacle bit is absolutely
right)
The Natural scale is NOT the Pythagorean scale. In fact the Pythagorean
scale is built entirely on ratios of 2 and 3.

Some text books have it wrong and the mistake then get repeated over and
over.
The very important interval of major third in the Natural scale has a
frequency ratio of 5/4 to the tonic.


.
All the best,
