Reported reference span: the displayed catalog range is not an independently verified physiological limit. The catalog lists Teddy Pendergrass as a baritone; this is a reported reference classification.

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.
