Reported reference span: the displayed catalog range is not an independently verified physiological limit. The catalog lists King Diamond as a countertenor; this is a reported reference classification.
The catalog has not verified recordings or scores for both endpoints. These figures cannot establish a repeatable singing range or an absolute highest or lowest note.
These are approximate catalog reference spans. Most profiles have not had both endpoints individually verified against named recordings or scores. They are not lab measurements or comfortable everyday ranges; use them for comparison, not as training targets.
