Apr 27, 2021 at 18:18 comment added jdjazz Check out this simulation: phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/fourier. You can create any resultant shape by adding together the harmonics in different amounts/ amplitudes. Conversely, when you pull back a string and pluck it, you are giving the string some initial shape. The initial shape determines which harmonics are present and how loud they are. If we stick to an idealized string, then that's the whole answer. For a real-world string, there are some good answers below.
