/**
* The FFTDetector class is a specialized pitch detection implementation

*
* This implementation is specifically optimized for harmonica frequency ranges,
* focusing on the frequencies that harmonicas can produce.
*
* Features:
* - Frequency detection range limited to harmonica frequencies.
* - Spectral peak detection with interpolation for improved accuracy.
* - Confidence calculation based on peak prominence.
