The definition of concert pitch A has, since 1939, been standardized to 440 Hertz. The difference between any two consecutive pitches on a piano is equal to the twelfth root of 2. Since middle C is nine semitones below concert pitch A, rounded to two decimal places, this is approximately equal to 440 / ((2^(1/12))^9). Rounded to two decimal places, this is equal to 261.63 Hz.

Is there a musical note with a frequency of 7.8 hertz?
Given that the A above middle C has a frequency of 440 hertz, the lowest note on a regular piano has a frequency, rounded to two decimal places, of 27.50 hertz. Taking this an octave further down gives a frequency of 13.75, too low for a human ear to hear. Descending ten semitones, to two Bs below the bottom end of a piano, gives a frequency approximately equal to 13.75/(2^(1/12)10) = 7.72 Hertz, the closest genuine note to a 7.8 hertz frequency.
The line through middle c is called?
