Want World Peace? Tune Your Damn Guitar! By David B. Moye on 16 August, 2007 10:17:00

SANDPOINT, Idaho (TNA) * The solution to world peace may be as simple as tuning your guitar or piano.

At least that's the theory of Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a dentist in Sandpoint, Idaho, who is convinced that out-of-tune musical instruments are destroying DNA.

Horowitz says that ever since the Middle Ages, musical instruments have been tuned to a slightly different cycle than they should be. For instance, a 'Middle C' is tuned to 523 cycles per second when it should be set at 528 cycles per second.

"This Middle C is the middle of the universe," Horowitz said. "It's the center of the color green in the rainbow and the center of the heart chakra."
