The Longest Video I've ever made!
This video is only possible because of your support on patreon - it's about 10 times longer than a regular MinutePhysics video, and probably took about 10 times as long to make.
I had a lot of fun, and our new MinutePhysics producer/editor Josh did a TON of amazing work on this video. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks as always,
Henry

This is such a fantastic video! Thanks a ton for your work on this!
Excellent video. I remember reading "Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music" by Ian Johnston when I was a kid and it covering the same information, but now I see that obviously the best way to learn this is with a video where you can actually play the sound and show the spectrum. This video will be a great teaching aid.
This explains so much, excellent video. This is the first time I understand how the overtone structure of different instruments influences the scales and chords and why the same chord on different instruments can sound quite different. If you want to nerd further on the topic you can look at how pipe organs work. By adding and removing stops (ranks of pipes) you can change the overtone structure of the note being played. This is a very unique property in the instrument family.
I wonder why D Major is so popular then...
Fabulous! The caveats are fabulous
First... Now... To the video.
