The speaker(4) man page says this about the number of notes:
> There are 84 accessible notes numbered 1-83 in 7 octaves
The numbers 1-83 is 83 notes, not 84. Lower down, the man page supports
the fact that there are 84 notes:
> N ⟨n⟩ Play note n, n being 1 to 84 or 0 for a rest of current time
> value. May be followed by sustain dots.
Finally, I checked the source code (sys/dev/isa/spkr.c) to find out for
sure how many notes there are.

7 octaves times 12 notes per octave; that is definitely 84 notes.
It looks like NetBSD has the same bug. FreeBSD fixed it in 1998[1].

As a side note, I had trouble getting anonymous CVS access until I read
the NetBSD anonCVS guide, which mentioned that you should set the env
var CVS_RSH=ssh. Maybe that should be added to OpenBSD's anonCVS guide.
