Some Organs are built with 64-foot or longer pipes that can play below C0, or some complicated overtone stops that will play the overtone series of such a low note that the air in the room will start to generate an implied pitch of it, which is super neat and very counterintuitive. Some Orchestral Contrabassoon parts call for the A below Bb0, or lower, but no manufactured Contrabassoon can play those notes, instead relying on homemade extensions.Ī standard 88-key piano goes to A0 Bösendorfer's Imperial Grand Pianos go to C0. A very, very good Tuba player can use pedal tones to get lower, but that's quite difficult. This is a half-step below the lowest note on a five-string Upright Bass, or a whole-step below the lowest note on a C-extended four-string Upright Bass (both common configurations in Orchestral playing). In Scientific Pitch Notation, this would be Bb0, just below C1. If you're just looking for extremity comparison purposes, the lowest manufactured instrument plays a written C (Concert Bb) under the fourth ledger line below the treble clef, sounding two octaves down. Different ones are made to a (written) low E, Eb, D, or C. ![]()
