Which overtones are present in case of vibrating string?

All overtones are present. Overtones are called first, second, etc. In case of vibrations of a string, the first overtone is the second harmonic second overtone is the third harmonic and so on.

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 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.

Why do strings have overtones?

A guitar string really does only vibrate at a single frequency, which is determined by its length and its tension. The overtones line up with other frequencies, which causes any appropriately tuned strings nearby to resonate with the string if they match one of the harmonics.
