Discussion

meirs Oct 15, 2010:
third octaves vs. octave thirds I think this construct is used as an extension of "half octave" that is used more than "octave half(ves)". Also, "octave third" may imply that an octave is divided into 3 thirds (1st, 2nd, 3rd) so which particular third must be specified too, whereas "third octave" implies 0.3 x octave (0.3 is logarithmic however - 3rd root of 2).

octave terţe

Octave de ordinul trei, poate fi folosit si ca "octave terţe"
Note from asker:
Din punct de vedere gramatical, asa ar trebui sa se traduca: octave terte; asta a fost si prima mea tentatie. Dar se pare ca aparatele astea au de-a face cu "treimile de octave" !?! Multumesc!
