Talk:Seventh octave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] This is so wrong.

"The seventh octave is the first octave range of notes above the top of a piano" It is the very last key on a typical 88-key piano, so how can you say it is "above the top"??

Christina Aguilera cannot sing in the 7th octave!!

[edit] Tenor C??

"Tenor C" normally means C3.

Should the article read "tenor high C" instead?

[edit] Corrections

Tenor C is C5, not C3. C3 is low C in scientific pitch notation. The 7th octave is the last octave on an 88-key piano and the last note is C8. As for the Christina Aguilera comment, she can sing up to C7 (she sang C#7 in the Christmas Song) which is at the very bottom of the 7th octave, so technically, she can sing up there.

So can Mariah Carey, Minnie Ripperton, Adam Lopez, Rachelle Ferell, Tamar Braxton, and several others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.78.122.30 (talk) 19:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
