Summary

Description
English: Spectrum of the tenor bell at Winchester Cathedral as analyzed using FFT by Jonathan Harvey for his piece Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco . Note that the major third in the second octave (F half flat rather than E ♮ ) is closer to the perfect fourth as is supposedly common in more modern bells.

Harvey added, "a clearly audible, slow-decaying partial at 347 Hz with a beating component in it. It is a resultant of the various F harmonic series partials that can be clearly seen in the spectrum (5, [6], 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, etc.) beside the C-related partials."
