Awesome. But I have a question. You explained earlier how the ratio is the beginning tone in Hz values under the final tone in Hz. For this chart, are you saying that they all are starting from D? It looks like that, but I want to be sure.

OK, so another 'before we get started' sort of question. How did all of this start, anyway? You find different ways to get to notes using the ratios, ending up with different tones for the same notes, but, from what has been explained to me, it sounds like we know what the notes are because of the Hz, and we know the Hz because of the ratio, and we know ratio because of the Hz. Where does this begin? Hope I am making sense. I just want to have it strait in my mind before going on. Perhaps a little history.

Thanks.
