As a concrete example to my simple explanation, consider the bugle. A bugle has no valves, it can only play the natural harmonics of the horn, as determined by lip pressure. x3, x4, x5, and x6 Thus the ratios of the available pitches are 3:4:5:6. That's a major chord (with the "fifth" down below). All your iconic bugle calls ("Taps", "Reveille", etc.) are the notes of a major chord. |
