What is the 13th harmonic?

The 13th harmonic lies between the 12th and 14th, which are just octaves above the 6th and 7th harmonics. ... The amount by which it lies above this point is a little less than the amount by which the 11th harmonic lies above the halfway point between the two points of a minor third.

What are the harmonic series?

A harmonic series (also overtone series) is the sequence of frequencies, musical tones, or pure tones in which each frequency is an integer multiple of a fundamental. ... The musical timbre of a steady tone from such an instrument is strongly affected by the relative strength of each harmonic.

What is natural sixth?

A neutral sixth is a musical interval wider than a minor sixth play (help·info) but narrower than a major sixth play (help·info). Three distinct intervals may be termed neutral sixths: The undecimal neutral sixth has a ratio of 18:11 between the frequencies of the two tones, or about 852.59 cents.

What does harmonic mean in music?

A harmonic is a sound wave that has a frequency that is an integer multiple of a fundamental tone. ... The frequency twice that of the fundamental tone is the second harmonic, and the frequency three times the frequency of the fundamental tone is its third harmonic.
