<p><strong>Hi, and welcome to the third blog.</strong></p>
<p>It is easy to play simple chords, beautifully in tune, in the middle register and higher using the harmonics of the horn. This can be done on any of the 16 tube lengths of the&nbsp;standard double horn. A few are only subtly different from their nearest neighbour and one is a quartertone different from the nearest neighbour. The longest tube length is a quartertone sharper than a long horn in B and is &nbsp;produced on the F horn with all valves pressed. However, it is&nbsp;quite…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/microtonal-info/blog/6072721/horn-harmonics-and-simple-chords">Read more</a></span></div>
