The '''3rd harmonic''', '''tritave''', '''triple''', or '''perfect twelfth''' is the [[interval]] of [[frequency ratio]] '''3/1'''. It is perhaps the most [[consonant]] interval after the [[octave]], with frequency ratio 2/1. For this reason, it is used as an [[equave]] in some [[nonoctave]] systems, such as the [[Bohlen–Pierce]] scale. | The '''3rd harmonic''', '''tritave''', '''triple''', or '''perfect twelfth''' is the [[interval]] of [[frequency ratio]] '''3/1'''.
