"Instruments Without Harmonics?"

If an instrument didn't produce harmonics, it would only be producing a fundamental sine wave, and nothing else. And if such an instrument was audible within the 20Hz-20kHz range, it would have *zero* energy above 20 kHz.

Or to state it another way, if the instrument is audible between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, and has energy *above* 20 kHz, the instrument *does* have harmonics. So based on the data provided, the "instruments without harmonics" really *do* have harmonics.
