karen,

i think that what a counter-tenor sings in, and it will have to be
david daniels that i speak of (not being a big listener to cts) is the same
voice as the operatic female (another voice i'm not particulary wild about).
tako and i call different things falsetto. what he calls falsetto is
probably the same as 'whistle'
