How Klaus Meine uses that range
Precision defines this instrument: a focused, narrow-vowel tenor with intense twang that projects over heavy backing without excess weight. Sustains are dead straight before a fast, tight vibrato arrives. His high notes are mixed, not falsetto, achieved by keeping the larynx steady and the tone slim. Diction stays crisp even at full volume. The classic copying mistake is adding thickness for power; his power comes from resonance focus, and extra weight just blunts it.
