[sdiy] harmonic numbering, bugles and...cows

[Peter Grenader]

For all you none bugle-players out there, there is an easier way:

Say the word 'Cow".  Sustain the vowel sound of the 'o' so that your are
almost humming the o and keeping our toungue in the back of your throat when
you do. This in effect will increase the resonance. Then slowly close and
mouth - you will hear the harmonics picked off at that point.  The slower
you open and close it, the more prominant they will become.
