Great stuff , Tootsall

Please thank Gary Radtke and Brian Schriver for their help in re-trieving this link

it's great - a picture, in this case, is definitely worth a thousand words

Question:

Can you calculate what pitches are played and subsequently being photographed as vibration points on the bell. As we all know concert A = .440 Hz ( on a good day ) that being said, in trumpet talk that means our Bb is .440 Hz, right

So on the chart they start with F = .466 Hz . What pitch, in trumpet terms, would that be ? Maybe someone knows of a chart for this somewhere and could provide the link.

Thanks and again great stuff,

Larry
