Some more morsels,

The genesis of the thread:

Quote:

I read that when we overblow the first time we get 12ths on our fundamentals and only the odd partials “because of the characteristics of a ( virtually) straight tube” instead of those nice octaves that "are characteristic of conical tubes" (eg oboe, sax)

The 5th and 7th and 9th etc..... harmonics do directly relate to "over-blowing"- without register vent usage.

Fingering/playing [C4]

we can sound [G5]

in the third harmonic, [E6]

in the 5th harmonic, [A6]

in the 7th harmonic etc.... with only changes in vocal-tract tuning (or "over-blowing".)

The register key/vents need never come into play; I did not invoke the term, but was merely correcting a misapplication as it was mentioned in prior replies.
