why are Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si the standard notes?

694 viewsOtherPhysics

If you take an instrument without predefined notes, such as a trombone or a violin, you can produce an infinite amount of notes between Do and Re for example (applies with out of tunes instruments as well). With that logic, you could have an infinite set of 7 notes that are as evenly « spaced » as our current standard. Im sure im missing something obvious.

Also, in many cultures they actually say Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti and not end with Si. I believe it’s mainly the romantic languages that end in Si. Ti is adopted almost everywhere else. I think so that every note starts with a different letter.
Also because Ti is a drink with jam and bread.
