Table of Musical Notes and Their

Frequencies
and Wavelengths
A number of calculations useful to builders of stringed musical instruments require the
frequency or wavelength of a note as input data. The following table presents the
frequencies of all notes in ten octaves to a thousandth of a hertz.
