bereik, omvang, ambitus


Definition from own experience or research:
De afstand tussen de laagste en hoogste toon van een stem of instrument.

Example sentence(s):
Explanation:
'Bereik' is de meest gebruikte term, 'omvang' mag ook, en 'ambitus' is de "wetenschappelijke" benaming.

'Bereik' dient niet verward te worden met 'tessituur'. 'Bereik' is wat überhaupt mogelijk is op een stem of instrument. 'Tessituur' is het gedeelte van het bereik dat prettig zingen of spelen is.

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  EddyArtEco: "Bereik" is het beste alternatief; omvang heeft meer betekenissen en ambitus wordt niet veel gebruikt, ook niet in vakkringen. Eddy van der Maarel.

  -> Dank je wel. 'Bereik' is inderdaad de beste term, daarom noemde ik die ook als eerste.

Yes  Marian Venderbos-Verhooren: bereik is prima, toonomvang is ook een optie als je omvang niet duidelijk genoeg vindt.

  -> Dank je wel. Toonomvang zou geschikt zijn voor een puur lekenpubliek, het wordt echter onder musici niet gebruikt.
