Dear Middle Audio,
I have a guitar in standard tuning. Is the low A (open A string) 440Hz? Is middle C 261.626Hz?
Not according to this chart.macrae11 wrote:I believe the low A on a guitar in standard tuning is acutally an A3. This would make it A220.

I'm also not saying this from a chart... I'm saying it from being a piano player that's been helping guitar players tune their instruments for over 10 years...

It is my understanding that the C on the first ledger line below the treble staff
(first ledger line above the bass staff) is middle C. It is also my understanding
that this note is usually played on the 3rd fret of the A string, on guitar, which
is an octave below middle C. Am I misunderstanding?
