Calculation for Equal-Tempered tuning [A3 = 440Hz] Hertz
..........Octave=0 Octave=1 Octave=2 Octave=3 Octave=4 Octave=5
0 A 55.000 110.000 220.000 440.000 880.000 1,760.000
1 A#/Bb 58.270 116.541 233.082 466.164 932.328 1,864.655
2 B 61.735 123.471 246.942 493.883 987.767 1,975.533
3 C 65.406 130.813 261.626 523.251 1,046.502 2,093.005
4 C#/Db 69.296 138.591 277.183 554.365 1,108.731 2,217.461
5 D 73.416 146.832 293.665 587.330 1,174.659 2,349.318
6 D#/Eb 77.782 155.563 311.127 622.254 1,244.508 2,489.016
7 E 82.407 164.814 329.628 659.255 1,318.510 2,637.020
8 F 87.307 174.614 349.228 698.456 1,396.913 2,793.826
9 F#/Gb 92.499 184.997 369.994 739.989 1,479.978 2,959.955
10 G 97.999 195.998 391.995 783.991 1,567.982 3,135.963
11 G#/Ab 103.826 207.652 415.305 830.609 1,661.219 3,322.438
12 A 110.000 220.000 440.000 880.000 1,760.000 3,520.000

So then "Frequency = 466 hz" is Bb ("our" C) and "Frequency = 2736 hz" is ""our high G" (more or less...I'm not in a position to tackle "equal" vs "unequal" temperments and assuming we are still working with the King Silver Flair which is transposing down to concert pitch!)

Every doubling of the frequency represents a single octave increase.
Take A=440 as baseline, 880 is one octave up from there and 1,760 is one more octave up (2X880).
