Jul 12, 2020 at 12:52 comment added phoog @JohnBelzaguy the fundamental is the first harmonic. The octave is the second harmonic or the first overtone.

Jul 9, 2020 at 22:01 comment added supercat @Kai: I wonder why one seldom sees plots showing the fraction of total power at or below a particular frequency? Such a plot would make it much easier to judge how the total power in frequencies near some particular frequency compares with the total power in a range of frequencies near another. To be meaningful, such a plot would have to be linear rather than logarithmic, but differences in slope would be more visible than changes in amplitude.
Jul 9, 2020 at 21:33 comment added Sophie Swett It looks like the way Wikipedia uses the terminology, the fundamental is a harmonic but not an overtone. So if you have a sound whose fundamental is 100 Hz, then 300 Hz is the second overtone, but the third harmonic.

Jul 9, 2020 at 16:54 comment added Kai I would say that the total power in the peak at 82 Hz is quite a bit more than the total power in the peak at 247 Hz. The peak is broadened and thus the total power has been spread out among surrounding frequencies and the peak is somewhat lower. If you plotted the integrated power for each peak in a window of plus or minus 10 Hz, the 82Hz peak would clearly be dominant

Jul 9, 2020 at 15:40 comment added John Belzaguy @AlessandroCarinelli no problem, interesting question and graph! It would be interesting to see the results played from different locations on the instrument and at different volume levels to see how much difference there is.

Jul 9, 2020 at 14:25 comment added John Belzaguy @Tim maybe their logic is if you’re dividing something into equal segments the first division is by one?

Jul 9, 2020 at 9:56 comment added Tim @JohnBelzaguy - there is confusion around the term 'harmonic'. Some say it's the 1st harmonic (which makes sense to me), but others call the basic note the first harmonic. No idea why!

Jul 9, 2020 at 8:38 comment added John Belzaguy Don’t you mean the 5th, not the 7th? If the fundamental is E2 then the octave, E3 would be the first natural harmonic and an octave plus a 5th, B3 would be the second one.
