Cites background from "Frequency Modulation During Song in..."
...A strong correlation between subsyringeal pressure and vocalization frequencywas also found in a suboscine bird, the great kiskadee, Pitangus sulphuratus (Amador et al. 2008), providing further evidence that driving pressure and frequency are biomechanically linked....

...…in this context that in parrots activity of intrinsic syringeal muscles does not show a clear correlation with fundamental frequency of sound (Gaunt and Gaunt 1985), and tension control therefore appears to be more indirect through the gating activity of these muscles (Larsen and Goller 2002)....

...Frequency control in other bird groups is less well understood but may not involve such direct action by vocal muscles (e.g., Gaunt and Gaunt 1977, 1985; Gaunt et al. 1982; Larsen and Goller 2002; Suthers 2001; Youngren et al. 1974)....

...How the positioning of the medial labium is controlled is less well understood, but, most likely, it involves the dorsal syringeal muscle (Larsen and Goller 2002)....
