Kris--

Like you, I can get down to the C on the 3 fret A string; my top goes higher, though--up to the F on the 13th fret E string. The C on the first fret B string is 'middle C', which is, *I think* C4.

No need to be jealous though. My voice is *VERY* inconsistent. I never know, from song to song, whether it will be "on" or "off," meaning under my control or not. Because I can't "use" it how I want to when I want to, I'm not a very effective vocal interpreter of music. It seems to be mostly psychological and spiritual...but I don't know what "turns it on" and "turns it off." People tell me it's awesome when it's "on." They say when it's "off" it's too faint and the pitch is unsteady. But I can tell that for myself. My voice teacher says if I have any "on" at all, then I will eventually be able to turn it "on" at will. I am learning, but very slowly, and life is shorter than we think...
