Frequently Asked Questions

443Hz was a common tuning standard in earlier periods, and using it provides historically accurate pitch for performances of Baroque and Classical music.
Bergerault utilizes precision tempering processes to ensure consistent bar vibration and intonation, though the exact standard isn't publicly disclosed; the result is exceptional clarity and sustain.
Due to its size and weight, a sturdy, level platform is essential – a dedicated orchestral riser or a hardwood floor is ideal to maximize resonance and prevent unwanted vibrations.
