Reading the numbers
- G2 is a deep floor for a contralto — lower than all but 1 of the 30 contraltos here.
- That floor is a full 10 semitones beneath where a contralto's range conventionally starts (F3).
- No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 32 semitones.
- The closest range in the library belongs to Dennis Brown (G2–D5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
- 4 other voices here are cited to the same D#5 ceiling.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
