How often is the lowest note on the clarinet played?
The lowest note on a standard Bb clarinet is a written E, an octave below the treble staff and it is used frequently. Because the clarinet is a transposing instrument, that E actually sounds a concert D. (That's the D in the middle of the bass clef, although it's not written in bass clef in clarinet music). Any time a concert D in that octave is called for, it can be written for clarinet. For some instruments, the lowest few notes are difficult to sound or to play in tune, and are avoided by composers and arrangers. The clarinet's low E is considered a safe, reliable note and is not avoided.
