What are the six classifications of timbre?

Answer 1

there are way more timbre than this, but this are some timbre reedy, brassy, clear, focused of unfocused, breathy, rounded, piercing, strident, harsh, warm, mellow, resonant, dark, bright, heavy, light, flat, e.t.c.

Answer 2

From highest to lowest, Female-male:

Soprano,

Mezzo-Soprano (sometimes just referred to as Mezzo),

Contralto (usually referred to as an Alto),

Tenor,

Baritone,

Bass.

However, these are only the most basic & most frequently mentioned types. The German Fach system, commonly used in Europe, has about 32 specific categorizations for vocal timbre across these six broader categories.

Also, male voices before they change are called trebles instead of sopranos.

Contralto and alto are not actually synonymous; "alto" refers only to range, while "contralto" has more to do with timbre.

Answer 3

Timbre is the quality of a musical note or sound or tone that distinguishes different types of sound production.

Answer 4

Timbre is simply the feel that distinguishes one sound from another; a Flute from an Oboe.
