Harmonic Tones

PIRA 3C50.40

Description:

A listener can hear the difference in the strummings; the first is "softer" than the second. The second sounds more "tinny" because it has different harmonics than the first; the two different strumming positions generate different standing waves in the higher harmonics. The lower (fundamental) pitches are the same.
