🎷 What are Overtones?

Overtones are a series of harmonics above a fundamental tone. In this video the fundamental tone is the low C and the different harmonics are created based on that note.a

🎷 Harmonics or Partials 

In this video I discuss the first three harmonics or partials on the Low C. The harmonics or partials go in this sequence.

First three harmonics:

• Harmonic 1: Octave Above Low C
• Harmonic 2: Octave and Fifth Above Low C (G with Octave Key)
• Harmonic 3: Two Octaves Above Low C (C with Octave Key)

The same intervals apply to every note you play. So if you play Low Bb it will sounds like this:

• Harmonic 1: Octave Above Low Bb
• Harmonic 2: Octave and Fifth Above Low Bb (F with Octave Key)
• Harmonic 3: Two Octaves Above Low Bb (Bb with Octave Key)
