Poul, I am not sure I have understood this. I can see how you get the harmonic series on a no holes pipe, through the overtones, but you seem to be implying...

Hi Steve Sorry if was unclear. The pipe basicly have two different harmonic series: One when played just like it is, and another if you close the end of the...

... When you say close the end of the pipe, do you mean fully closed, so the air has nowhere to go except out the fipple? I know that as a "stopped pipe", and...
