> I don't know about proof, but as a brass player for 20+ years.  There's m=
ultiphonics stuff where you sing a major tenth above the note you buzz with=
 your lips on the horn.  And the combination of the two (root + 3rd) sounds=
 the 5th (BELOW both of those tones).  It's not as strong as the other tone=
s, but it's definitely there.  If you get a group of like minded brass play=
ers together and play sustained chords.  When the group actually gets it in=
 tune the upper harmonics start to sound and ring above the actual notes be=
ing played and the dB level of the group goes up a notch.  Now whether that=
's fact or just belief, I don't know.  But it's certainly evidence of somet=
hing.  Could be physics, could be psychology.

That's very interesting!
