Thanks in advance, mainly I just need some examples.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is one referring to inharmonicity or anharmonicity?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inharmonicity (Article apparently doesn't meet with Wikipedia's Quality standards).

Inharmonicity refers to the departure in frequency from the harmonic modes of vibration expected of an ideal flexible string.

Inharmonicity.

Those links aren't exactly what I am looking for, I am trying to find out how to calculate inharmonies, specifically from hertz.

I don't think Hertz rent those anymore. They switched to Fords.

Sorry I couldn't resist.
 
You don't mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic" do you?

Please explain in detail what it is that you are looking for, do not make people guess.
