Natural Tuning- Bamboo Zen Clock by Now & Zen

Depending on which model you have, The Digital Zen Alarm Clock’s chime sounds either a “B” note or an “E” note, both of which have been naturally tuned according to the method developed by the ancient Greek master Pythagoras.  The Clock’s B or E notes, however, vibrate at different frequencies than their equivalent notes on a modern piano.

Modern natural tuning methods facilitate musical composition, but they compromise the enchanting and therapeutic quality—the purity—of the naturally occurring tones discovered by Pythagoras.  As a result of its natural tuning, the Digital Zen Alarm Clock’s tone reflects the vibrations of nature—the motion of the planets and the frequencies of life.

Natural Tuning- The Greek philosopher, sage and mathematician Pythagoras who flourished in the 6th century BC, circa 530 BC.

Gregorian chants

Studies indicate that certain sounds can actually stimulate our nervous systems and charge our brains. Gregorian chants, for example, have been shown to energize the brains of both the chanting monks as well as those who listen to the chants.  Because of its Pythagorean tuning, the Digital Zen Alarm Clock’s chime may produce a subtle charging effect on your mind.
