Reading the numbers
- 10 semitones — 26% of the whole span — sit above the cited full-voice ceiling, so much of this range is head voice, falsetto or whistle rather than chest.
- The ceiling clears the conventional tenor top of C5 by 9 semitones.
- 5 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 111th lowest of the 357 voices here; by top note, the 160th highest.
