Flageolet Voice
The highest register in the vocal range, usually occurring at the pitch of C6 or higher where the fundamental frequency rises above the first resonance of any vowel. While technically an extreme end of the cricothyroid-dominant register (and not a truly unique laryngeal register), the flageolet register resembles other cricothyroid-dominant production, although more acute and extreme. In flageolet register, only the edges of the vocal folds are approximated, and there is high subglottic pressure and considerable longitudinal tension in the vocal ligaments. Only a small portion of the opera and art song repertory requires frequent use of the flageolet register, although it can be accessed and practiced beneficially by all classical sopranos. See also flute register, whistle register.[1]
