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...

1. i'm tuba player and iget to bb-1
2. Is there a instrument that can play 1000000000000000000000000000000 leger lines
   Down!?!?
3. Uhm marimbas go lower than that, I've seen a 6.5 octave that hits an F1
4. Oboe can hit an #A on bass clef?
5. dang
6. OMG WHEN AN F5 WAS PLAYED I FARMED AND THE PITCH WAS EXACT OMGGGGG I'M SO PROUD
7. if you were to do extentions or pedal tones/ false tones the real winner would be the contrabass tuba in C
8. what's the point of going so low? can't hear them anyway
9. yep I heard that
10. This video convinced me that my senses are fucked up... I could actually hear way deeper than what he said is the deepest. Also, in some other video, I could here notes that were apparently to high for people to hear (it was painful but still kinda cool). On top of that, I've taken several eye tests that have shown I can pick up movement better than a cat can. That's two senses proven to be weird, 3 more to go.
11. Is it just me or did I just hear below the human threshold of hearing?
12. What is the highest note that can be played by an instrument?
13. Today on fun facts: Did you know that most of the people with crappy headphones and speakers didn't hear the low notes? Ikr
14. E0 is the lowest note on a BBb tuba. TRIGGERED!!!!!!
15. wow...
16. 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.
17. 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
18. Octobasse!
19. What about C-99999999999999999999999999999?
20. What is the highest note played by an instrument?
