And a different question:
Just like how the different non harmonic partials are shifted and
forced into a harmonic compromise in a bowed string, does something
similar happen when playing simultaneous harmony?
I.e. would partials on 2 strings sharing bow and bridge, say fingered
at a frequency ratio of close to 2:3 but not exactly 2:3 (i.e. equal
temperament), also modelock to the just(=pythagorean/integer ratio)
interval 2:3? would the one out of 2 slips on one string be
simultaneous with one out of 3 slips on the other?
