@GhostNuclear the notes repeat every octave, but they get higher or lower

@Iwillwait Ooo.. right, thanks for clarifying. You are correct of course.

@Iwillwait this is correct

@Iwillwait You are assuming a particular starting C; I don't "see" that in the question.

SomeMichGuy · M

Another C.
That's how the scales work.

Isn’t it written C’?

SomeMichGuy · M

@JoeXP There are different notations...but there is no specific starting C specified.

The C one octave higher, i.e. its produced by a note with twice the number of vibrations per second.

A higher C.

@ShenaniganFoodie That depends upon a specific starting C...

@SomeMichGuy One octave higher than a "C" note is another "C" note, but at a higher pitch. In scientific pitch notation, if middle C is C4, then the C one octave higher is C5
