Dec 26, 2019 at 11:59 comment added BioPhysicist @EmilioPisanty This question is clearly a physics question relating the length of a string to it's fundamental frequency and harmonics.
Dec 26, 2019 at 8:07 comment added GiorgioP-DoomsdayClockIsAt-90 @ZeroTheHero The question, as it has been phrased, is clearly about the presence or not of Fourier components in the sound coming from a string. Mentioning a guitar is just putting the question in its context which is applied physics. I have studied music as well as physics and I know the difference. Moreover, as you can see, the answers are about the physical presence of Fourier components, although in the language of musical acustics they are called overtones.

Dec 25, 2019 at 19:37 comment added GiorgioP-DoomsdayClockIsAt-90 @EmilioPisanty Since when Fourier analysis of vibrating strings and sound waves is not physics?

Dec 24, 2019 at 21:36 comment added Emilio Pisanty I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not about physics.
