@eyesquash@mastodon.world Why is C used for the middle, as in “middle C”? I suspect the answers are related, but don’t know, and am now curious. Obviously using A through G is arbitrary, but then why put C in the middle, rather than D, which has the virtue of being the symmetric middle, with three notes below and three above? Or, as you suggest, start on A with all whole notes?

@optilude@techhub.social And now I know my next project, thank you for finding this!!

@optilude@techhub.social Oh excellent, even better!! I have built a few pedals from kits, so this seems like a good fit for a next-step-up in difficulty and depth project. I’ll be moving up from the hand-holding of the all-parts-provided kits to sourcing my own components will be a big step for me. Plus, of course, I could use a load box.
