  2. Mellophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellophone

    Mellophone fingerings are the same as the trumpet. [3] It is typically pitched lower, in the key of F or E ♭. The overtone series of the F mellophone is an octave above that of the F horn. The tubing length of a mellophone is the same as that of the F-alto (high) single horn or the F-alto (high) branch of a triple horn or double-descant horn.

  3. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    The harmonic series (also overtone series) is the sequence of harmonics, musical tones, or pure tones whose frequency is an integer multiple of a fundamental frequency. Pitched musical instruments are often based on an acoustic resonator such as a string or a column of air, which oscillates at numerous modes simultaneously.

  4. Pitch of brass instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_of_brass_instruments

    The fundamental is essentially missing from the resonances and is impractical to play on most brass instruments, but the overtones account for most pitches. [ 2 ] The following table provides the pitch of the second harmonic (the lowest playable resonance on most brass instruments, an octave above the fundamental frequency) and length for some ...

  5. Inharmonicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inharmonicity

    In music, inharmonicity is the degree to which the frequencies of overtones (also known as partials or partial tones) depart from whole multiples of the fundamental frequency (harmonic series). Acoustically, a note perceived to have a single distinct pitch in fact contains a variety of additional overtones.

  6. Marching brass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_brass

    The drum and bugle corps activity has been a driving force of innovation behind the creation of marching brass instruments for many decades. The mellophone and the contrabass bugle are among the creations spawned by instrument manufacturers for use in the marching activity due to the influence of drum and bugle corps hornlines.

  7. Undertone series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undertone_series

    Undertone series on C. [1] In music, the undertone series or subharmonic series is a sequence of notes that results from inverting the intervals of the overtone series.While overtones naturally occur with the physical production of music on instruments, undertones must be produced in unusual ways.

  8. List of pitch intervals - Wikipedia

    Comparison between tunings: Pythagorean, equal-tempered, quarter-comma meantone, and others.For each, the common origin is arbitrarily chosen as C. The degrees are arranged in the order or the cycle of fifths; as in each of these tunings except just intonation all fifths are of the same size, the tunings appear as straight lines, the slope indicating the relative tempering with respect to ...
