Nigerian musicians bring more money from the UK than Tinubu’s trips" — Omoyele Sowore.Whether you agree or not, one thing is certain: Nigerian Music is a Global Force. 🇳🇬🎸

The Economic Power of the Nigerian Sound

Recent headlines have sparked a debate on the economic impact of our creative industry, with Omoyele Sowore noting that Nigerian musicians are bringing in more significant value from abroad than political trips.

At Ebadungstrings, we see this every day. Music isn't just a hobby; it’s one of Nigeria’s most valuable exports. Our artists are global ambassadors, and their success starts with the quality of their sound. From the strings of a lead guitar to the resonance of the bass, we are proud to provide the tools that fuel this billion-dollar industry.

What do you think? Is music Nigeria’s most powerful export?

🔴 BREAKING: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Confirmed Dead

🔴 BREAKING: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Confirmed Dead

In a historic and volatile turn of events, Iranian state media has officially confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The 86-year-old leader, who has ruled Iran since 1989, was killed during a large-scale military operation conducted by the United States and Israel on Saturday.  

📍 What We Know So Far:

The Operation: Codenamed "Operation Lion’s Roar" by Israel, the strikes targeted high-level leadership compounds and military infrastructure across Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Qom.  

Confirmation: After hours of speculation, Iranian state television broke the news early Sunday morning, March 1, 2026.  

National Mourning: Iran has declared 40 days of mourning and a seven-day public holiday.  

U.S. Stance: President Donald Trump announced the success of the mission, calling it "justice" and stating that "one of the most evil people in history is dead."  

⚠️ Regional Escalation:

The situation remains extremely dangerous. In the hours following the strike:  

Retaliation: Iran has launched waves of ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli cities and U.S. military bases throughout the Middle East.  

Casualties: Reports indicate that several other top Iranian officials, including the Chief of Army Staff and the Defense Minister, were also killed.  

Global Impact: Flight paths across West Asia have been cleared, and several countries in the region are on high alert as the conflict threatens to expand further.

🛡️ Transition of Power:

Under the Iranian constitution, a council consisting of the President, the Head of the Judiciary, and a member of the Guardian Council will temporarily assume leadership duties until a new Supreme Leader is chosen.

C (musical note)

C (Italian, French: Do) is the first note of the C major scale, the third note of the A minor scale (the relative minor of C major), and the fourth note (F, A, B, C) of the Guidonian hand, commonly pitchedaround 261.63 Hz. The actual frequency has depended on historical pitch standards, and for transposing instruments a distinction is made between written and sounding or concert pitch.

Middle C  Play 

In English the term Do is used interchangeably with C only by adherents of fixed-Do solfège; in the movable Do system Do refers to the tonic of the prevailing key.

Frequency

Historically, concert pitch has varied. For an instrument in equal temperament tuned to the A440 pitch standard widely adopted in 1939, middle C has a frequency around 261.63 Hz (for other notes see piano key frequencies). Scientific pitch was originally proposed in 1713 by French physicist Joseph Sauveur and based on the numerically convenient frequency of 256 Hz for middle C, all C's being powers of two. After the A440 pitch standard was adopted by musicians, the Acoustical Society of America published new frequency tables for scientific use. A movement to restore the older A435 standard has used the banners "Verdi tuning", "philosophical pitch" or the easily confused scientific pitch.

Octave nomenclature

Middle C

Middle C (the fourth C key from left on a standard 88-key pianokeyboard) is designated C₄ in scientific pitch notation, the most commonly recognized in auditory science, while both C₄ and the Helmholtz designation c′ are used in musical studies. Other note-octave systems, including those used by some makers of digital music keyboards, may refer to Middle C differently. In MIDI, Middle C is note number 60 which equates to C₄.

While the expression Middle C is generally clear across instruments and clefs, some musicians naturally use the term to refer to the C note in the middle of their specific instrument's range. C₄ may be called Low C by someone playing a Western concert flute, which has a higher and narrower playing range than the piano, while C₅ (523.251 Hz) would be Middle C. This technically inaccurate practice has led some pedagogues to encourage standardizing on C₄ as the definitive Middle C in instructional materials across all instruments.

On the Grand Staff, middle-C is notated with a ledger line above the top line of the bass clef or below the bottom line of the treble clef.

Other octaves

In vocal music, the term High C(sometimes less ambiguously called Top C) can refer to either the soprano's C₆ (1046.502 Hz; c′′′ in Helmholtz notation) or the tenor's C₅; both are written as the C two leger lines above the treble clef but the tenor voice sings an octave lower. The term Low C is sometimes used in vocal music to refer to C₂ because this is considered the divide between true basses and bass-baritones: a basso can sing this note easily whereas other male voices, including bass-baritones, typically cannot.

Tenor C is an organ builder's term for small C or C₃ (130.813 Hz), the note one octave below Middle C. In stoplists it usually means that a rank is not full compass, omitting the bottom octave.

B sharp

Comparison of notes derived from, or near, twelve perfect fifths (B ♯)

Traversing the circle of fifths can result in a B♯ that is higher than C by 23.46 cents, the ratio of twelve just perfect fifths (B♯) to seven octaves being 531,441 / 524,288, the Pythagorean comma. A B♯that is three just major thirds above C is lower than the octave by an interval called a diesis, 125:128 or 41.06 cents.
