Subject: Pipe Length Frequency Equivalents

From: Tentochi <tentochi2003@...>
Date: 2003-02-21

On many traditional analog synthesizers, the octave
was denoted by "equivalent" organ pipe lengths. I
think the extant of the range is something like 64",
32", 16", 8", 4", 2", 1". Typically the range is some
like 16" to 2".

What is the corresponding frequency range for each of
these pipe lengths? What notes are the pipes
themselves tuned to? Is this the first note for that
octave?

Thanks!
Shemp
