Found this YouTube video today. What's happening at 2:58 in the video that's making everyone laugh? Is this just a high register split octave of sorts??

It's actually the octave "beating"-just made more noticable by the amp/mic combo.

Sounds like some kind of harmonic resonance. Perhaps harmonic dissonance. Or something like that.
I've heard Dave Barrett talk about something similar to this.
Here's the video embeded, full size. The link above is a small version for mobile phones.

Positive-William Clarke used it a lot.

@tmf714
Is it from a specific octave split, or do certain type of amps/tube combinations highlight it more??

6-7 draw, I think. That is where I get the reed beat thing. It is the same principal as Echo or Tremolo harps.

It's works well for me tongue blocked on the 6-10 draw octave-I can really get it beating heavy there on a Bb harp.

Like tmf714 says it's an octave beating. William Clarke used octave beating to great effect.

It's actually an octave that's not perfectly in tune - musically. Theoretically two notes in an octave considered the same note so when played together they should sound very smooth just like only one note being played but when one or both of them got out of tune they become the most dissonance interval and beat a lot like that. Most tunings for harp apart from ET would have some dissonance octave I think (not sure though).

Thanks again for the replies! Yeah, it makes sense now because you do hear it alot in William Clark's music. I always thought it was a type of technique he employed. Now I know, thanks!
