Can a cello play lower than a double bass?
No. A double-bass is normally tuned to E A D G (same as a bass guitar, or an octave below the bottom four strings of a guitar) while a cello is tuned to C G D A, an octave below a viola, starting at a pitch two semitones below than the double-bass' D string. In fact some orchestral double-basses go even lower than E - to the lowest C on a piano - via a mechanical extension, or to low B via a fifth string. The cello was originally the bass member of the violin (or more correctly viola) family, and the double-bass (originally a member of the viol family) was so-called because it was pitched even lower. There is in fact now a "missing member" of the violin family - a "tenor violin" pitched an octave below the violin - which was in use until the mid-18th century. "Cello" is short for "violoncello", Italian for "fiddle-big-little" ("viol[a]" + "-on[e]" + "-cello") in other words a small bass fiddle, while a double-bass is called "violone" ("fiddle-big") or "contrabasso".
