Upper register Explanation: Not an expert. Could read "inaudible in the upper register spectrum" Could maybe leave out spectrum. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2006-12-13 10:06:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just had a thought that "ongehoord" might be discordant |

peer agreement (net): +1spectrum of harmonics Explanation: Het gaat hier om de boventonen (harmonics) die het instrument produceert. Spectrum wordt hier gebruikt als of een soort regenboog; de boventonen overkoepelen de basis klank als of het een regenboog van klankkleuren is die je erbovenuit hoort. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-12-13 11:25:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ongehoord betekent hier trouwens meer iets zoals bijzonder veel, niet dat je ze niet kunt horen. That would be 'inaudible'. Here they mean 'hitherto not heard'or 'unprecedented'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-12-13 11:44:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The harmonic spectrum of the note A 440Hz begins an octave higher at 880 Hz, then the fifth above that, the fourth above that and so on.
