Talk:Seventh octave

message: Natalie Dessay and Joan Sutherland have never sung in the 7th octave, so I've removed them. Sutherland's never gone past the F below the 7th octave, and Dessay never above the A below that C. And I don't know why Sumac is listed under the classical section?

message: I have read about rumours that Vitas can sing in the 7th octave using whistle register, but I haven't heard any evidence of this. As far as I'm aware, his highest note is E6, and highest sustained note E♭6. I think he uses falsetto to reach these soprano notes. If he really can hit the 7th octave I'd love to hear it (I have all his albums already), but I'm not sure where this information is coming from so I'll add a  tag. The main Vitas article makes no such claim, sourced or otherwise. I do know that the sheet music site Musicnotes.com which is cited as a source on many Wikipedia articles appears to use a different notation system with the octaves numbered one higher than in scientific pitch notation, e.g. tenor high C would be C6 instead of C5 using their system, so although Musicnotes.com doesn't actually have any Vitas songs their different numbering of octaves could cause confusion. It's also possible for pitch analysis software to pick up on overtones and give a reading an octave too high. Contains Mild Peril (talk) 19:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Leona Lewis's range is D3-F#6, which means her top note is nowhere near the seventh octave.
Shanice's vocal range is C#3-Bb6, so she's a note and a semitone away from being able to hit notes in the seventh octave.
Unless someone can find audio files of them hitting notes in the 7th octave, they need to be removed from the list.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.26.188.254 (talk) 18:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Seventh octave into Octave, as the topic is not particularly noteworthy by itself, is covered by Octave and some other articles, and is unlikely to ever contain much content.
: "The seventh octave in scientific pitch notation is the highest octave of an 88-key piano."– see Piano. A note of this can be added to Octave.
: "Using middle C (C4) as a guide, the next higher C is C5 or tenor C. [...] The seventh octave is the range of notes between C7 and C8."– see Octave, Scientific pitch notation and Piano.
: "While notes in the sixth octave, between soprano high C and C7, can have enough color to sound flutey or canary-like, the squeaky, whistly tones in the seventh octave help give the whistle register its name, as do the piercing qualities of notes in this octave."– see Whistle register
