Why wind instruments use F#?
Not gonna lie, F# is great for some music like Stella Splendens, but seems like a common note on Bagpipes and Ocarinas

@waltercool i dont remember the context exactly but i remember reading abt F# being a special frequency. Will update when i remember. Something to do with resonance etc.

"Being a musician myself, I was especially interested to discover a patterned musical signature to those resonances that formed an F-sharp chord. Ancient Egyptian texts indicate that this F-sharp was the resonant harmonic center of planet Earth. F-sharp is (coincidentally?) the tuning reference for the sacred flutes of many Native American shamans"
Not all my instruments have a complete chromatic scale, but at least you always have F# available, which is pretty curious
