Re: [Harp-L] Timbre, pitch, intonation

As I thought about it... timbre to me is the "feel" of a note....   
Example: Let's say you play an A-flat note on a chromatic harmonica.... 
then you play an A-flat on a C harp, which I believe is the third bend 
in the 3 draw hole..... Both notes would be the A-flat... but I bet 
they would sure sound different...
 either that or timbre is what is in the woods behind my  house.

   Timbre suggests to me something of texture, not exactly tone, but an 
element of
it. Like the physical feel of the sound, maybe the percussive element.

Robert Frost said poetry requires an apprenticeship to texture. I like 
that.
