Talk:String harmonic

message: I believe the technical term for "harp harmonics" is "artificial harmonics".  And the "3rd Bridge" section is absolutely ridiculous.  It doesn't belong in this article -- it seems like an advertisement. A real guitarist needs to rewrite this article from scratch... it really blows!  Winky the tinkler 06:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I put up an Unreferenced warning since this article also seems to have major copyvio (or at least informal writing) issues. Ianthegecko 17:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: On the G-String the P4 Position harmonic should not be E but G! This matches the logical patter and is also shown like that here: http://www.freakguitar.com/gfret.html 
Some please fix. I have no idea how to contact or change the chart. This is rather important shince the chart is used in many Wiki pages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.50.238.229 (talk) 05:27, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

message: What do the minus signs mean in the image? For example in the image I see a D-. I'm not familliar with that notation. Is it explained in the article and I just missed it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.47.236 (talk) 18:28, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it stands for "-" or "less" and is not standardized notation. Hyacinth (talk) 21:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table of harmonics Image

message: I have ascertained that this article was very likely transplanted here from a Wikibook [mis]"instruction" manual. I've excised most of the dodgy material allowing future editors to rebuild as required. I think a facsimile of F Sor's study in harmonics from Op29 would be a welcome addition, I'll see what I can do. RichardJ Christie 01:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The Double Attack Harmonics section attributes that technique to 'Henry Deazeta of Jhojie Carnate'. Searching those names on google gives me seemingly random pairs of names. Nothing anywhere relating to a band or group of any sort. I presume it might be vandalism, because this page used to have the same technique attributed to a 'J.K. Hays' of 'Stidham-Hays', however that was also unsourced, and google searches seem to give me links to articles with text copied from this article. Neither of these people or groups have a website or even a myspace music page to work off, so I'm suggesting they aren't notable enough to be mentioned. Is this technique simply someone's original research? 58.161.121.200 (talk) 05:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

message: It'd be nice if there were a section on how harmonics are written in music notation. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 19:26, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

message: This section has been added, removed, and added again a few times. I have pointed its author at WP:BRD and some core WP policies. I don’t want to bite the dude with a 3RR warning yet. Calling for other eyes to help with this... Just plain Bill (talk) 22:39, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Siegel Harmonic 

message: The second half of the lede currently discusses details on nodes. There are several problems with that text:
# It is badly written. It starts talking about x and y without ever defining these,
# It discusses things at detail that rather belong in the appropriate section in the main part of the article.
# It appears like the writer of that text has not read the section on nodes, which uses different variables m and n instead of the ideosyncratic x and y. 
# It contains errors. One typo, which consisted in needlessly defining the frequency so that it is always ≤0, has just been corrected. Another one is a more grave factual error: It claims that "the node at  produces a perfect fifth ()", which is wrong, since, regardless whether I hold down the string at 1/3 or 2/3, I get the same result, namely the perfect twelfth, a.k.a. compound fifth. (I'm taking the liberty of saying so without a reference, since it is something anyone with a stringed instrument with accessible strings can easily verify for themself.) I will therefore merge the little that is salvageable from this text into the  section. ◄ Sebastian 11:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

message: I think the Guitar section of this article should be blanked, or at the very least, severely shortened. There is no reason for the article to focus so disproportionately on guitar (in my experience, harmonics are more common on bowed instruments anyway), and the section is almost entirely unreferenced. If no one opposes this, I'll clear or cut back the section soon. Noahfgodard (talk) 21:25, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
