I just love it when music and science collide. I've always wondered how those early piano makers, who surely couldn't measure frequency with any accuracy in the early 1700's, managed to get those octaves to match the frequency numbers like that. But using human ears, they figured out that certain notes sound alike and always resonate.

Music IS science, and math, and art all at once. It is a beautiful thing. As for the piano makers, clearly they have better ears than I do.
