What are overtones violin?

Resonances, sometimes called vibration modes, are the frequencies at which the violin can vibrate most easily. You can do a web search for "violin modes" and get a lot of information on this. To get an overtone, take the frequency of one of these modes and multiply it by an integer.

What is the difference between a harmonic and an overtone?

“Overtone” is a term generally applied to any higher-frequency standing wave, whereas the term harmonic is reserved for those cases in which the frequencies of the overtones are integral multiples of the frequency of the fundamental. Overtones or harmonics are also called resonances.

What are some examples of overtones?

In simple cases, such as for most musical instruments, the frequencies of these tones are the same as (or close to) the harmonics. Examples of exceptions include the circular drum – a timpani whose first overtone is about 1.6 times its fundamental resonance frequency, gongs and cymbals, and brass instruments.
