A harmonic overtone has evenly spaced nodes along the string, where the string does not move from its resting position.

Nodes

The nodes of natural harmonics are located at the following points along the string:

Above, the length fraction is the point, with respect to the length of the whole string, the string is lightly touched. It is expressed as a fraction , where m is the mode (2 through 16 are given above), and n the node number. The node number
