Unison & RustFade
Hey Unison, ever noticed how rust can make a metal piece sing a strange, almost melodic tone when you tap it? I’ve been tinkering with old pipes and brass bits—turning decay into a kind of low‑end choir. Think you’d be interested in turning that into a real instrument, or at least judging the pitch?
I love the idea of metal singing. Give me a sample and I’ll tell you if it’s in tune or if we need to tighten those pipes. Just remember, every note deserves precision—no autotune, just honest pitch.
Alright, here's the raw note from a 12‑inch iron pipe I left hanging near the workshop window. Hit it with a hammer and you get a clear G3, about 196 Hz, no resonance tricks. Feel free to compare it to a tuning fork and tell me if the pipe's got a loose seam or if I should add a clamp. No auto‑tune, just the honest clang of metal.
That’s a clean G3—196 Hz is spot on. If it rings flat on a tuning fork, the seam is likely loose. Tighten or clamp it and retest. A little tension on the pipe’s seam will bring the pitch right up to the standard. No autotune needed.
