Piano string harmonics and chords

Man, the E (5 times the original frequency) is badly out of tune.

autoscale ftw

I wasn't really implying anything. I agree that our vision capabilities are much more powerful than our auditory capabilities. I also agree that the frequency range differences are not really important ... although, still interesting.

Well I am trying to work on that sort of thing right now. But what i think is that colours are not the most important part of our vision sense. When you say better, you most likely mean more versatility in encoding/decoding information. Am i wrong? When it comes to information, you can go beyond colours : shadows, textures, patterns, symbols :--> throuhg these our eyes are "better" or just as good as our ears, but not when it comes to single colours, for now at least!
dude...GOT to get that piano tuned. It is futile to demonstrate harmonics when the 3-string unisons for each note are so badly out of tune. it even confused your scope!

I call it "character." The piano has lots of "character." :)

That's obviously a HP 'scope from the looks of it, but which model exactly?

@DrDaveBilliards I have (access to) a HP 54600A. Would you mind telling me how to access the spectrum analyzer, so I can check if "my" scope has it, the next time I have a chance to play with it.
BTW, speaking of spectral analysis, check view > spectral view in Audition for a bit of fun.

@Gameboygenius
If I remember right, it's under the "Math" or "Special Functions" menu under "FFT." Maybe you can find a manual online to see if your model supports this (and to find out how to access it).
Good luck.
