If you produce electronic music, you already know how critical low-end tuning is. A kick that clashes with the bass can muddy your entire mix — even if your EQ and compression are perfect. That’s where Hertz Piano comes in.

This simple note-to-frequency reference lets you instantly find the exact Hz value for any musical note, making it incredibly useful when tuning your kick drums.

How Producers Use It

  • Match your bass note: If your track is in F#, use Hertz Piano to find F# in the 40–60 Hz range and tune your kick sample or synth to that target.

  • Layer with precision: Use the frequency chart to make sure your sub and kick layers don’t overlap.

  • Avoid guesswork: Instead of turning knobs and hoping, you’ll know exactly which frequency your kick is tuned to.

In just a few seconds, you can make your low end tighter, cleaner, and perfectly in key — all thanks to this tiny but powerful web tool.
