Hello and welcome to DRQ!
Musical instruments have a wide variety of ranges. Some can play really high notes and a few can play some really low notes.
So, what is the lowest note that can be played by an instrument?
The lowest note that can be played by an instrument is definitely not the one I just played on the Garklein Recorder.
There are a lot of instruments out there. So, let's start at the top with the lowest note played by a Garklein Recorder, a C 6, and work our way down. Listing the lowest notes each instrument can play as we go.
This is not a complete list of instruments and I did not include pedal tones or instrument extensions.
Looks like the winning note is C 0 at 16.35 Hz. It can be played by a Pipe Organ with a 32' stop, an Octobass or a Hyperbass Flute in C.
BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!
There are a few very rare instruments out there which are capable of playing even lower notes...

[@dougboblas]

The 64' lowest note on the Sydney Town Hall Organ cannot be heard because it is not allowed to be played. The reason is that if played the vibration will cause structural damage to the building.

[@dougboblas]

@Steven Criscione that frequency at sufficient power causes certain cavities in the body to resonate

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@dougboblas It needs to be fixed

[@trenthamilton7532]

Source? There have been many recordings of this stop and note.

[@donnabelhadj5106]

Wow, when I stopped hearing I thought I went temporarily deaf. THAT IS LOW.

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

+Donna Belhadj Yes, most of us can't hear lower than 20 Hz. Thanks for watching!

[@donnabelhadj5106]

NP! Also, WOW you replied?!

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

+Donna Belhadj Surprise! I'm a real person. Which is why this video has a mistake in it. I forgot that some synthetics automatically drop an octave for effect. So, what you're hearing is lower than what it's supposed to be. Whoops! Thankfully, most haven't noticed. I didn't notice until after it had been up for awhile. Oh well, maybe I'll make an updated version in the future.

[@donnabelhadj5106]

That's okay! I'm just not used to people replying to me..XD Besides, everyone makes mistakes.

[@ApplepieFTW]

Note that we especially can't hear lower than 20hz when the audio went trough the youtube audiorape codec

[@Sathrandur]

As an organist, I have a subwoofers for my sound systems for my classical music, especially organ music (nothing like cruising in the car with your organ music turned up!). I also assure you that you really feel the bottom notes of 32' stops go right through you - it's an amazing feeling.

[@CorvetteCoonass]

There's nothing quite like hearing it in person though. Hearing a 32' stop in person for the first time recently made my body vibrate. I could feel it in my heart. It was a G0 and it made the building shake.

[@timardner5277]

The boardwalk hall organ, while only 50% playable, is still an incredible instrument! It is being restored and someday we will hear it at 100% playability.

[@shiningarmor2838]

Except that your synth sample plays an octave lower than concert pitch.

[@ragerabbitpro]

it sounds like you pitched this down an octave lower than it should be

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

+utaWOLF You have a good ear! Yes, I didn't notice that until after it was live. I used a synthetic bass sound and forgot that some of them are pitched down an octave. I probably should have used a pure tone instead. Thanks for watching!

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

+utaWOLF yeah i noticed that too

[@Squidynx]

utaWOLF Yeah me too I heard that

[@TheNutshaq]

utaWOLF yeah he did for some reason

[@hi2656]

I noticed it too because I play cello and when he got to the C that is 2 ledger lines beneath the bass clef it sounded way too low

[@kotsxz]

Interesting-but why design an instrument that plays so low no one can hear it?

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

+Phu Q For one very good reason. Just because we can. Thanks for watching!

[@masonsachs9681]

+Phu Q It is for feel. It makes a cool sound that no one can hear.

[@truscorpio13]

+Nosam 1127 You can't make a "cool sound no one can hear" I think you mean a cool sound someone can feel

[@masonsachs9681]

Yeah but the feel of the sound makes me think that I can hear it, but in reality I can't. I like the sound and feel of low instruments.

[@rogerdickens6218]

+Phu Q That's only the average human and instrument if all instruments can play the note.

[@aaronlaughlin2389]

We need an instrument capable of playing a C-4 at 1 Hz, that’s where I draw the line

[@cobalt._.27]

Aaron Laughlin MY LAUGHLIN BOY CAN PLAY A 1 HZ TONE

[@jeannebouwman1970]

well that could be anything that can make a sound, like your foot, and you just have to tap your foot every second, and tada, you have 1 hz. now tap it twice, and you got an octave

[@legoshaakti]

The notes on the piano actually sound an octave lower than what is written. That makes the actual pitch of the instruments confusing.

[@howeks]

That's not true. They sound at the pitch that is written. If you take a tuner that displays the frequency of a note and play A above middle C on a piano, it will read 440Hz (if the piano is in tune)

[@howeks]

I now realize you meant the piano used in this demonstration. You are right about that.

[@LucidiumGD]

Anyone realize that middle C is actually a C3? It's all an octave lower. I have a marimba at my school that can play an A1...

[@saxophonistrule5746]

The octocontrabass clarinet is the lowest in my opinion

[@hotwheelsearl]

at least, it's the lowest instrument that is reasonably played by a human being. the huge organs are a little too much, and the 64' clarinet is way too big. The octocontrabass is "small" enough to be handled by a normal human.

[@saxophonistrule5746]

Earl McEarl thanks

[@patrickmeyer2802]

heh, no. I learn on the Sydney Town Hall organ. The 64' Contra Trombone is what we call a distant rumble, because it is. No clarinet can match that.

[@Furriousdestroyer]

You can't have an opinion on the lowest if it's a fact

[@futureandroid183]

Double Contrabass flute is fam

[@swampwiz]

It seems that the notes being played are an octave lower than that shown the staff.

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

swampwiz I think you might be right. Some synthetics are automatically dropped an octave. I forgot about that. Maybe I should have used a piano instead. Good job for noticing!

[@shiningarmor2838]

I think that's how they write contrabass instruments' parts.

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

Shining Armor Yes, some sound an octave below than what's written. String Bass and Contrabassoon for example.

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

Uhh, just saying, I don't think the notes on that piano or whatever are synced right at all. It was starting with tenor notes was playing bass in what shouldve been soprano lmao

[@Jackson-sr7ms]

The Eli Cook Show He isn’t talking about saxophones...

[@BretNewtonComposer]

A note of clarification on the Octo-Contrabass Clarinet, the instrument constructed only descended to a written D3, which sounds a C0. The later Octo-Contra-Altos did descend to a written C3 sounding E-flat0.

[@cellovid]

Great video, very worthwhile topic, thank you so much! It made me remember my thoughts regarding Michael Brecker and his sax-style midi controller, which really stands out for me in terms of its range and expressiveness. I was just astonished by his rendition of Duke Ellington's "In A Sentimental Mood," mainly because the midi controller gives him access to a range of dynamics, pitch, and expression that is just mind-boggling... would like to say more, but I don't want to bore, so nuff said....

[@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin]

It is possible to play C0 with Bösendorfer Imperial 290.

1:17 A2 is the lowest note for a 4.3 octave marimba. However, there are 4.5, 4.6 (F2 and E2, respectively), and 5 full octave marimbas that go down to C2, no extensions required.

[@SuperSaiyanAnime]

Cool video, now I'm determined to go see a 64' Pipe Organ lol

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

You'll have to plan a trip to Atlantic City or Sydney. Thanks for sharing!

[@shiningarmor2838]

Many have a stopped or resultant 64', though

[@CorvetteCoonass]

It's just amazing that Sen. Richards actually wanted there to be an open ended 64' stop in the organ. They could have done like the Wannamaker organ and used a resultant, but I think Sen. Richards had a specific idea for the sound of that stop.

[@rikhard1116]

Boardwalk halls Organ is under renovation.

[@ProFriend]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_caZiIbqd3iM0 - you can get a taste of it here.

[@bellabyrne1958]

Cool! Could you possibly do a video on the highest note played by an instrument? :D

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

+Isabella Byrne Thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually currently working on a video about notes, but I decided to take it in a little bit of a different direction. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!

[@manassehputrus-toma6947]

B3 is probably more common on flute regarding the lowest note, just giving you the heads up

[@Christian-ie2db]

Wow man, that was low... Get it? Ok ill leave now

[@Bassoonist57]

Wait! there may be more! A contrabassoonist named Richard Bobo is working on the development of a subcontrabassoon, an instrument that would sound a whole octave lower than the contrabassoon!

[@AOSMAKAKMS]

So it’s like a subcontrabass tuba?

[@shawncharton9416]

You left out the 64' C on the organ in the Ross Perot center in Dallas.

[@chadbeverly4926]

Its not real. Most likley a resultant or digital replication due to the fact that no one can afford the cost of having a 64' rank made. Sydney Town Hall and Boardwalk hall are the only organs in the world with real 64' ranks. Now most people dont know there are several organs with incomplete 64' ranks but they only go so far most Ive seen is maybe an almost complete octave. If we were counting resultants Boardwalk hall organ would beat everyone since it can play at at 4hrz

[@adamhero459]

There is no winner because you can just make a bigger instrument of any type until it plays at .000000000000000000000001hz

[@dogemusicproductions7444]

E0 is the lowest note on a BBb tuba. TRIGGERED!!!!!!

[@CorvetteCoonass]

The lowest note on a tuba depends on the number of valves, the key it's in, the mouthpiece used, and the player's ability.

[@TubaChris]

CorvetteCoonass Lol the valves have nothing to do with how low someone can play. Just what notes you can play.

[@TubaChris]

And it's player ability.

[@futureandroid183]

double contrabass flute

[@ryanhilden1443]

well if you have more valves then you have more tubing, more tubing = lower notes

[@pavelblinov8666]

Just hit a drum every second, technically that’s a 1 hz note

[@mistralgalegaming2632]

I can actually hear a bit below the note you said was the lowest, but was just very soft, and it got softer as it went down.

[@socialite1283]

The lowest musically playable note on a pipe organ is C-1. Only a couple of organs have them. You don't hear it - you feel it.

[@sliicc2160]

Can you do highest note please!

[@hailey.1312]

This guy deserves more subs.

[@TheNutshaq]

My dude I got a G0 out of my tuba the other day, not the lowest but I am the lowest playing tuba at my school

[@CorvetteCoonass]

Congratulations, now hold that note for 10 seconds. That's the real challenge.

[@cobalt._.27]

OOOOOOOOOOOH G is for Guacamole!!!

[@TheNutshaq]

LCTuba89 sorry for the late reply, 10 seconds is too much for me I'm not that big of a chad. I did however get to play it on stage for Jupiter so that was fun. That was a year ago

[@turner_kia]

Although non-compensating (3-valve) euphoniums can only play as low as an E2, a compensating (4-valve) euphonium can play as low as B1 without pedal tones.

[@nyuh]

i love how you included every recorder nice garklein btw

[@ryanschneider3700]

Minor technicality, but a "bass tuba" is in F or Eb and can play as low as F0/Eb0. Contrabass (BBb and CC) can play as low as C0 and Bb-1.

[@KrippsJuicyButthole]

Ryan Schneider He did say no pedal notes, although I still think those notes are a bit unreasonable. I own a rather large F-tuba, and it's basically impossible to go below Ab0. Maybe you can count G0 as well, but there's too much resistance built up in the instrument to possibly be able to play any lower. I have tried other tubas, but it was even harder on those.

[@CorvetteCoonass]

Pedal tones begin at the 1st partial of the instrument and descend down from there. The low notes that require the 4th valve on BBb like F1, Eb1,D1,Db1 are all 2nd partial notes and are not pedal tones.

[@asrose7979]

Doug: Thanks for the interesting stuff. You neglected to note that most humans can't hear below C#0, which I believe is in the range of a 32' organ stop. Did you happen to do any research on the alpen horn ? ~asr~ 🌹

[@laiyemoboys9255]

A 32-foot organ stop is C0, not C#0.

i heard all the way down but the lower end just sounds like the same note being used and I cannot recognize it but I hear the actual sound from all of them.

[@barspinxup]

[@katiecleland4019]

The Subcontrabass Flute is also known as the Octocontralto Flute

[@timardner5277]

you could've put a picture of the Boardwalk Hall Organ console so viewers know what it looks like. I've seen that organ and the 64 foot low C pipe and it is massive.

[@vincentchavez4441]

After the subcontrabass flute I couldn't make out anymore notes, why design a instrument to were no one can hear it?

[@bernhardkirchner5447]

I did see a picture of the 64ft PVC clarinet, it was not a straight piece but coiled several times like a rectangular snake The lowest note I ever played was on a 4 valve standard BBb tuba with all the slides pulled which gives a harmonic series on B natural when all the valves are used, the fundamental note is one octave below the lowest B on the piano for this harmonic series and that's my lowest note to date. I know there are tubas built lower than that like a FFF (24-ish feet long) , or EEEb (26-ish feet long) and of course double length of a BBb tuba which would be 36+ feet long, and the fundamental using all 3 valves on the latter would give a series on E natural just above that pedal C on the 64ft clarinet

[@Nocturnimancer]

My inner bassist saw the title and lit up.

[@ProFriend]

I love it when they get it right - the Boardwalk Organ in Atlantic City is truly king of the instruments!

[@Biff_McFly]

Could anyone else still hear stuff when the Bb subcontrabass tuba played?

[@alexandergriffon521]

I don't know if anyone has asked about this yet, but what about the 128' organ stop?

[@douglasporter3865]

No real instrument has one, but IIRC one of those monsters with the 64' stop does also have a "Resultant Bass" which will create a virtual 128' for you.

[@zTEXASBOYSX]

The 64 pipe organ plays a C0. You listed everything an octave lower. Also, when you were listing the notes, they sounded an octave lower than what you notated. Ex: when it got to C2, the note being played was C1, because human hearing goes beyond those notes and they were inaudible.

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

zTEXASBOYSX I used synthetics for the sound of the notes and forgot that some automatically drop an octave. So, yes they were sounding an octave lower that what's listed. I didn't notice until after the video was live. Middle C is a 2 foot pipe at C4. C3 4 feet, C2 8 feet, C1 16 feet, C0 32 feet, and C -1 is 64 feet. That can be confirmed on the Wikipedia Organ Pipe page or the Contrabass website.

Being a contrabass clarinetist I prefer the lower ocatve for sure. But let us not forget the Subcontrabassoon which is currently being made by a guy on youtube, sorry forgot his name.

[@DougsRandomQuestions]

[@Squidynx]

Doug's Random Questions The Contrabassoon actually hits a Bb0 and it's not an extension. My teacher told me it is the lowest pitched instrument after the piano

[@NeilABliss]

Your teacher is right in the sense of commonly used instruments, but does not take into consideration pedal tones, or unusual instruments. Most the instrument Doug gives for lowest are rare. But, as a semi- professional Bass Trombonist I can and have used musically notes below that of a Contrabassoon. A Contrabassoon can indeed hit Bb0 and with extensions have been known to use A0 as a lowest note... I have used a G0 on a Standard common Bass Trombone.... and F0 on a Contrabass Trombone and while not in a musical context even lower on a BBb Tuba. I can go off the end of the piano, but I cannot compete with a 32' pipe let alone a 64'.

I need to train these children to tune to their bodies. A 96 hrt tuning fork works but it can not sustain a signal for training purposes. Any suggestion would be appreciated and attempted.

What does this accomplish? I'm curious.

1:26 You can go even lower on a TENOR trombone with an f attachment

[@lampoilropebombs0640]

Instrument extensions are not counted

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

@@lampoilropebombs0640 Yes they are, they specified lowest notes on tenor and bass trombone and the only reason that a bass trombone can go lower is because it has both an F and Gb valve

[@Joe-hx1md]

@@charleyhibschweiler4555 also with some extensions the bass trombone can reach 33hz

[@everynameiwantedwastoolong6887]

Did you play a note for A#-1 because I heard something and I don't know if I'm just insane or if I can hear very low

[@bridgetkearneymylife8181]
