believes that the falsetto extends in the male voice to A (below mid

taylor,
i remember, with some confusion, marilyn horne making note of garcia's
use of the term 'falsetto'. she never really explained his use (and i got
the impression she might have thought it was a mistake) but, your
explaination makes perfect sense now. if we define falsetto as phonation
without complete adduction, i'm wondering if the folds would close more or,
come closer to resembling complete adduction, (without compression) as pitch
is increased, using the same set-up.
