Reading the numbers
- The ceiling is modest for a tenor — only 6 of the 127 tenors here stop lower.
- Only 11 of the 127 tenors here work a narrower cited span.
- 5 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
- No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 27 semitones.
- One of 5 singers from Spain charted here.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
