    For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental.

    This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range.

    In such a case the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2

    which gives a frequency of 84 Hz
