Reg, But if the resonator for the singer's formant were very close to the source of the vibrations, such as in the larynx itself, then such a small percentage would still count quite strongly.

And in the case of a tenor high C, I think there are other modes of vibration in the vocal apparatus. Try this site for interesting animations of suggested vocal cord movements that are a bit odd : http://www.ncvs.org/tutorial/tutorial/modes.html To be honest I don't think this is the answer: I think that there is a harmonic which is the equivalent of the first harmonic divided by 3 (an octave plus a fifth) that gives you a little above 3000 Hz for its resonant frequency.john
