'''27/1''', the '''27th harmonic''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[26/1]] and before [[28/1]]. It is about four [[octave]]s and nine [[semitone]]s in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the base note is F1, the higher note will be about D6. That is for all practical purposes beyond the range of {{w|choral music}}. However, it can be approached as a stack of three [[3/1]]'s, making [[chord]]s like 1-3-9-27. | '''27/1''', the '''27th harmonic''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[26/1]] and before [[28/1]].
