Reading the numbers
- E2 is a deep floor for a tenor — lower than all but 6 of the 127 tenors here.
- 12 semitones — 29% 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 10 semitones.
- The span runs 10 semitones past the median voice in this library (32 semitones).
- The closest range in the library belongs to Al Green (F2–A#5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
