Therapeutic Chime Alarm Clocks
Pythagorean Tuning
The special tuning of the Zen Alarm Clock’s chime takes its inspiration from the ancient Greek master Pythagoras who lived in the 6th century B.C. Pythagoras is one of history’s most mystical geniuses. Although he is best known for his theorem in geometry, Pythagoras was primarily a religious teacher, and his understanding of the universe retains much vitality for our day. Pythagoras embodied the ancient Greeks’ zest for understanding and their passion for the “physics of spirit.”
The Zen Alarm Clock’s chime is tuned according to the ancient method developed by Pythagoras. The larger chime on model 4502 corresponds to an “E” note, and the smaller chime on model 4460 to a “B” note. However, these notes vibrate at different frequencies than their equivalent notes on a modern piano. Modern instrument tuning makes each note slightly flat or sharp so a whole range of instruments can play together. But modern tuning compromises the enchanting and therapeutic quality—the purity—of the naturally occurring tones discovered by Pythagoras. As a result of their natural tuning, the tones of your Zen Alarm Clock correspond to the vibrations of nature—the motion of the planets and the frequencies of life. This is the secret of its therapeutic effect.
