Okay, here goes the explanation. Not sure how I got everything turned around so thoroughly. Zemlin: "The folds vibrate and come into contact only at the free borders and that the remainder of the folds remains relatively firm and nonvibratory. Furthermore, the folds appearr long, stiff, very thin along the edges, and somewhat bow-shaped. Brodnitz: "The falsetto is sung with only the foremost parts of the cords left free to vibrate at the margins, the rest being dampened.: More discussion and explanation on this would be welcome. .........and yes, we could even go backwards and discuss the physiology that occurs from chest, to mix, to head, and falsetto.....for a refresher course. Thanks! Mary Beth Felker-Osborn.
