pitch range
High to low
Pitch range is the span between the lowest and highest notes a voice or instrument can produce.
Singers are classified by their pitch range—soprano, alto, tenor, bass.
The term applies to any sound-producing system: The pitch range of a piano spans over seven octaves.
In speech, pitch range affects how expressive or monotone someone sounds.
