  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. 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 ...

  4. 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.

There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_scale

    In traditional music, the overtone scale persists in the music of peoples of South Siberia, especially in Tuvan music. Overtone singing and the sound of the Jew's harp are naturally rich in overtones, but melodies performed on the igil (bowed instrument distantly related to the violin) and plucked string instruments such as the doshpuluur or the chanzy also often follow the overtone scale ...

  8. Overtones tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtones_tuning

    In comparison with standard tuning, each major-chord open-string tuning reinforces different "overtones and can actually make the guitar sound louder and more resonant". [3] To explain this resonance and strengthened sound, the example of the overtones on C has been used; and C's overtones is a standard example for explaining the sequence of ...

  9. Horn (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(instrument)

    Two instruments are called a mellophone. The first is an instrument shaped somewhat like a horn, in that it is formed in a circle. It has piston valves and is played with the right hand on the valves. Manufacturing of this instrument sharply decreased in the middle of the twentieth century, and this mellophone (or mellophonium) rarely appears ...
