I don't believe it is physically possible--I think the highest and lowest are completely out of human range to produce, and that anyone able to hit one possible end could not hit the other!.

You sure there's that many octaves in the audible range!? Only 11 on a piano, and I can't believe there's another 50 or so going each way from there!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The lowest C on the piano is close to the bottom range of human hearing!. I've got one student who can sing an octave above that note!.

The highest A on the piano is 1760 Hz!. Most professional singers, yes, even opera singers, have a usable range of two and a half octaves to three octaves!. Rarely does a piece call for more than a two-octave range--I can think of only six!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely not! never, ever!. I'm a professional opera singer, and I have a comfortable (without proper warms ups ad streaching) rane of about 3 octaves!. With warm ups I can do more, but I never need my whole range for any particular song, so you only push to the notes you need! Not possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Someone is pulling your leg!. Most folks can sing two to two-and-a-half octaves comfortably!. Some professionals can do more - Luciano Pavaroti, for example!. But 100!? No way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
