Well, first of all, an octave is usually referred to as two notes, being 8 notes apart (although if you include sharps and flats they are 12 notes apart). If an instrument is said to have a "2 octave range", that simply means one can play up to 24 different sounding notes on the instrument. My poor illustrations... imagine a piano.... This would be one octave. ---------------------------------- Bb C# Eb F# G# A B C D E F G A ---------------------------------- An instrument with a 2 octave range would be able to play... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb C# Eb F# G# Bb C# Eb F# G# A B C D E F G A B C D E F G A --------------------------------------------------------------------
