Does anyone know whether phase relationships between the fundamental tone
and the higher harmonics are important in determining how "musical" a
sound sounds, and if so, to what extent? It seems to me that since the
phase relations also play an important role in shaping the composite
waveform, they shouldn't be entirely irrelevant.
