'''8/1''', the '''8th harmonic''' or '''octuple''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[7/1]] and before [[9/1]]. It is equal to a stack of three [[octave]]s.


'''8/1''' is the 8th harmonic, or three octaves.
== Terminology ==
Analogously with ''tritave'' and ''pentave'', the expected derivation would be ''octave'', but that is already the name for [[2/1]]. Hence, no name of that format is given for 8/1.
 
''Octuple'' is a proposed term which relates itself to the ancient Greek concept of [[harmonic|multiples]]. It also fixes the problem of using part of the word ''octave''.
