Resultant-Tones and the Harmonic Series

Nature volume 65, page 561 (1902)Cite this article

Abstract

THE following method of recovering, by inspection of the harmonic series, the position of the differential resultant-tone of the first order for any given musical interval has occurred to me, and, as far as I have been able to learn, has not yet found a place in the text-books on musical acoustics which are in most common use. I therefore venture to hope that a brief statement of it may gain admittance to your columns and be the means of saving some time and trouble to students of the subject.
