The general class of pitches produced by sounding the second or
higher harmonic of a tone producer: string, column of air, and so on.
On stringed instruments, these pitches sound rather flute-like;
hence, their name in languages other than English. They are produced by
lightly touching the string at a node for the desired mode of vibration
while it is being bowed or plucked.
For instruments of the violin family, there are two types of
harmonics: natural harmonics, which are those played on the open string;
and artificial harmonics, which are produced on stopped strings.
