| Mar 4, 2021 at 18:24 | comment | added | Justus Romijn | I'm wondering if pitch has anything to do with it. Currently, A4 with a frequency of 440Hz is the baseline where all other pitches are derived from. | |

| Jul 12, 2017 at 4:39 | comment | added | badjohn | In a parallel quirk of history, the first drive on a Windows computer is usually C: rather than A:. A different reason of course but in both cases, it is too hard to change now and we live with the situation. | |

Because Do is the first note, following by Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, and Do is C
