E(all fingers down with no register key)
On the B-flat clarinet, a concert D is the lowest note.
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.
The contrabassoon and contrabass clarinet act as the lowest voices of the woodwind ensemble. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the octocontrabass clarinet as having the lowest range of any orchestral instrument, capable of playing B♭-1 concert pitch (the B♭ below the lowest note of the piano).
The Bass Clarinet should have the lowest pitch.. or if not the Bassoon
It's not the bass clarinet.The octocontrabass clarinet (also known as octo contrabass clarinet, octo contra bass clarinet, or subcontra bass clarinet) is the largest and lowest member of the clarinet family. It is pitched an octave below the contrabass clarinet, or three octaves lower than the standard B♭ soprano clarinet.The Guinness Book of World Records lists the octocontrabass clarinet as having the lowest range of any orchestral instrument, capable of playing B♭-1 concert pitch (the B♭ below the lowest note of the piano).
an A 440Hz, in an orchestra given by an oboe
A written E below middle C. It sounds one step lower as a concert D.
that would be the "octocontrabass" or "subcontrabass" clarinet. the piano's lowest note is B♭, and the subcontrabass is able to play B♭-1. with only one built, and only three pieces of music for it, it has never been electronically recorded.
