In the on line free encyclopedia, Wickapedia, this is a descriptive exerpt introducing this musical (acoustical) theory:
..."Solfeggio" frequencies is a term coined by Leonard Horowitz, DMD and Joseph Puleo in 1999.[1] It is a system of musical tuning for pitched instruments, referring to a belief that a set of nine frequencies derived from numerology were used centuries ago in Gregorian and Sanskrit chants. These frequencies are believed to create positive shifts to those in proximity to them."
The full text and explaination is found there at:

..However, I find the frequencies of the various parts of the violin are in the range of 188HZ to 352HZ (As I measure them). All but the lowest frequency listed above are outside the violin range. However, if we calculate the related frequencies to the above, by dividing these' Solfeegio' frequencies by 2, 3, 4, and 5 and listing them in order, we have a list of related frequencies of:
95/ 132/ 139/ 142.5/ 148.5/ 160.0/ 170.4/ 174/ 176/ 185.25/ 192.6/ 198/ 208.5/ 213/ 240.8/ 247/ 264/ 274/ 285/ 319/ 321/ 370.5.....HZ.
..It may well be that when parts of our violin are made with these frequencies, that the sound of the instrument is more pleasing to our ears. Only careful research of excellent violins and comparing their data together will tell us of any true correlation.
...I will mention that my most successful violins do seem to have a close correlation to some of the C.37.C related frequencies, as well as these "Solfeggio" frequencies.
...At another page I will list the violins,their parts and tap tone frequencies and how they compare to C.37.C related frequencies.
..How when we compare and combine these frequenices with the 'Slofeggio' frequency list, and then select those frequencies pairs that match, and list those in increasing frequency order and compare the frequencies of unusually sucessful violins; there is a close correlation. If continued research confirms this present indication, then we would have a specific acoustical plan (or choices) for making a violin that more closely matches these special violins.
..The article lists Soldeggio frequencies of:174 HZ, 285HZ, 396 HZ, 417 HZ, 528 HZ, 639 HZ, 741 HZ, 852 HZ, 963 HZ.
..A special thank you to Chadbourne Zitek who told me about Solfeegio frequencies and asked me if it would be possible to make a violin for him based on these.
