Well, it depends what tuning system you are using, and in what order
the notes are tuned, but it is quite possible, or even likely, that
Db is nearer to C and C# is nearer to D. It just depends on the
direction you come to these notes in the cycle of fifths.
This is why I have always thought about frequencies in Hz only. But
it seems there is a real demand to know the note name as well
