is this edited?

I record these for You Tube by placing a microphone in front of my Brunswick windup phonograph, and recording to my computer using Audacity. I used the noise removal for a while, but gave that up because it really kills the sound quality on these old acoustic records. I do use a new needle for every play. I save the sound file as an MP3, then put it in the soundtrack for YouTube. It is a strange mix of old tech and high tech. This record has had very little play and is extra nice.

so like this is jus this guy whistling. he hasn't recorded over it to make it sound like 2 sounds at once?

[DavidN23Skidoo]

He could whistle and use his vocal cords at the same time. He had an extremely large range of notes he could make with his vocal cords. There is a good website about him if you do an Internet search.

[SantaClause49]

I think I read somewhere this guy can go ultra sonic.

[slazed19]

this is super interesting.

just thought alot of pl missed that point

[MaerdYsatnaf]

He's not in whistle register. He's doing this with his throat. Shit's intense.

i found one street singer who can do it, it was amazing..., i was like 2 hours thinking omg, maybe no one else knows its like chrles kellogg...

HUUUUMMMMBOOOOLLLDTT!! :]]]]

[VagrantA]

wow,this is amzing, he could do all of that!

[mlaygo]

@madsketcher Lots of people can exceed the piano and some people can also go lower than it. The world record for the lowest human vocal not is some 0.300 something Hz. I don't see how this couldn't be possible.

[mlaygo]

@moesalim88 The highest in this recording are somewhere in the 9th octave, not 8, just FYI.

[Follettopuck95]

Veramente eccezionale.....visto in una puntata di mythbuster. Resto esterreffatto che qualcuno dica che raggiungesse le 12.5 ottave, che a mio avviso non esistono in musica.

ottava = otto estensioni.

Grazie Kellog per avermi stupito di questa rarissima caratteristica vocale timbrica e non.

[postmodernteatowel]

maybe he has some sort of rare laryngeal mutation of some sort? it cud be possible then?

[ASSHOLELA]

12.5 OCTAVES MEANS SIMOUTANEOUSLY HOLDING THE WORLD RECORD FOR LOWEST AND HIGHEST NOTE AT THE SAME TIME.

(unless he can go into the 11th octave that is)

[Anthonyk312]

so. there are a bunch of people who can do more than a piano. thats not an argument you can use to disprove the possibility of 12.5 octaves.
