The concept can also be applied to chords. This is the easiest to see when a chord is written as a sequence of overtones.

For example, the virtual fundamental of a [[4:5:6]] major triad is the fundamental: '''1''':4:5:6, which in this case is two octaves below the root of the triad.

The virtual fundamental may be found similarly for tempered chords, if there is a clear just interpretation.
However, in the general case, the virtual fundamental is often ambiguous or not well-defined at all.
