Conventionally the pitch was estimated by using parallel -connected comb filters method (PCF). However, PCF has problems which often fail in the pitch estimation when there is the fundamental frequency of higher tone near harmonics of lower tone. Therefore the estimation is assigned to a wrong note when shared frequencies happen. This issue often occurs in estimating octave 3 or more. Proposed method, for solving the problem, estimates the pitch with every harmonic instead of every octave. As a result, our method reaches the accuracy of more than 80%.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {12}, year = {2009}, pages = {2385 - 2388}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9081}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/36}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 36, 2009}, }
