    Melodica-Me,

    I was just wondering that in your first post you said the tenor range is B3-C5; so you meant C3 instead of B3, isn’t it?

    And thanks a lot for listing the range of your melodicas!

    Alan,

    I saw that chart, too, and it seems to be very useful because it shows the range of these voices as choir and solo voices (where you need a wider range).

    What you wrote about the sweet range is highly interesting and perhaps it would be worth a new thread…

    Quetscher, I would say it is C3 but you will find that in some charts where it will go down to B3, I wood say it’s an approximation.

    Melodica-Me,

    I’m sorry, but I still don’t understand. I always thought that the notes change numbers with each “C”, so “B2” would be a second beneath “C3” whereas “B3” is a seventh above…

    Please tell me where I made my mistake!

    Quetscher, if you take middle C that is C4 an octave below that is C3 and an octave below that is C2 the B next to C2 is B2 not the one next to C3. Take a look at the piano chart that Alan posted, that will help you see where it is.

    Melodica-Me,

    I’m sorry but each source that I find on the web tells me this is wrong!

    Have a look at these:

    Please believe me that I only insist on that topic because I want us to talk about the same things. But maybe there’s somebody else on melodicaworld who helps us find light in the darkness…

    Melodica-Me,

    I just had another thought: assuming that you’re right and the B3 is the note beneath C3 – in this case the C is not the split note between the octaves. Which note would it be then? The A?

    Quetscher, you are correcti, I don’t know what I was thinking, I should have started from the left and not from the right in my explanation.

    Thanks a lot, I’m not used to american musical terminology and I was really confused, that’s why I insisted.
