Ooohh, can I join the club? Been in choirs since I was 16, almost continuously until my early 40s, went on a break 'for a few months' after my Intercontinental move that ended up being 7 years...

2nd bass at scct.co.za since a few months now and loving it!

I mentioned it in the post, but: 2nd bass, ever since I was 18 or so.

Well during my recent audition I got to F above middle C without resorting to falsetto, which when the conductor told me (I don't have absolute pitch) surprised me, but only a bit.

Would have been able to get a bit higher but that probable would've hurt my voice so I didn't

I can reach E4 without warm-up. With warm-up I can get a little bit higher than that, sometimes up to G4.

I however did not say it was easy, nor that it is something I can sustain for long stretches of time without hurting my throat 😉

Very! I can consistently reach D2, though only barely and with a lot of air and not a lot of volume. If I had a lot of alcohol and/or not a lot of sleep the night before, I can *sometimes* reach C2, but it's rare.

I once sang with someone who could reach G1 (not a typo). Now *that* was impressive. And beautiful.

So today I'm sick and I now manage to croak out a Bb1 (assuming my piano is tuned correctly, which given we moved recently is not guaranteed).

It sounds pretty awesome, even though I need to occasionally search for the right note when it gets rather low
@bytebro

@bytebro
It is, and I usually can't reach it, it's just today that I can because I'm sick 🤷
