    This is an interesting and useful guide visually matching the note range and generated overtone range with the corresponding pitch frequencies.

The red sections are the standard orchestral playable ranges of each instrument (vs virtuoso extended ranges), and the yellow parts indicate the range of overtones that are produced. Keep in mind that they don’t correspond consistently: for example, for saxophones, most of the overtone range is present for most of the played range, while for oboe, the first two or thee overtones are present, and they drop off sharply above that for most of the range. And the flute’s low range tends to be rich in overtones, and fewer and fewer remain the higher the instrument plays. The clarinet has full overtones, but only produces odd-numbered ones. Lots of variations, depending on how the tone is produced, materials construction, the shape of the pipe for winds, and the like.

As a result, different instruments will also respond differently to various EQ & multiband tweaks. Nonetheless, this is a valuable producers’ working guide, and for that matter, a good reference sheet for sound engineers. The next step would be to learn by ear the behavior of each instrument for a given project.

This is my FL Studio background that i use as a visual guide while mixing a track.
