tried learning music by getting in a choir , the experience was a bit unique for me.
I was in the basse group (lower frequency male) ,
I struggled to be in the range with other and most of the time ended following tenors.
Not to the talk about the imense breathing and effort on chest it required.
(i am a rugbyman too and rugby felt easier for the breath part).

I made up a program (python code ) to test my self and i discovered the baryton i was ( i am ) with safe range of D2-C4. ( anithing outside is a battle )

But it feel strange to me why choir dont go the 6 voice road and stick to a 4 ?
