Many instruments have their range as part of their name: soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, baritone horn, alto flute, bass flute, alto recorder, bass guitar, etc. Wikipedia

Exempel på altar: Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Cher, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick. - Wikipedia
