They would be for a perfectly thin flexible string - but string stiffness sharpens the higher harmonics. Bill Sent from my BlackBerry smartphone from Virgin Media -Original Message- From: David van Ooijen davidvanooi...@gmail.com Sender: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012

That may be true, but a more obvious cause would be that the total length of vibrating string is reduced by the width of the area of contact of the finger. Cheers Philip Brown On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 9:00 AM, willsam...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: They would be for a perfectly thin flexible string -

with apologies to those who aren't interested ;-) For a plucked instrument the finger on the node is removed from the string just after the pluck. (otherwise the sound is damped) Indeed, having sharp harmonics is a property of all strings outside the physics lesson, as any piano tuner knows.

Wow. awful lot of theory vs. practice here, and apparently the practice isn't all that clean. The topic was admitted from the first to be 'off topic': bowed strings, not plucked (i.e., cello.) Stretched partials do indeed happen, most famous in pianos. There, the very short length and high

Sorry, Philip. I was going to get here, and was interrupted by a colleague. The idea of playing harmonics on bowed string instruments includes using a very light touch (hence, not squashing finger meat all over the string) and finding the point as you bow that the harmonic sounds best. That is

I have to say, I'm always amused by these discussions that broadly outline the imprint of theoretical measurements on the phenomenon of sound. If we look at all the factors, including thickness and stiffness of string material, variability in trueness of dimension, interference of

Back in the '70s I remember reading in a book about historical tuning theory that, at least according to that author (whose name I can't recall), people in all likelihood used theories like Just Intonation and Meantone as a starting point, then adjusted things until they sounded good to them.

Thank you William Brohinsky - and others - for your response. I have been tuning using the open strings fifths, but do remember a teacher years ago telling me that tuning using the octave harmonic is more precise. I'll try that method again. My Korg is a less high tech model; I may look
