Haha, though in all honesty the subcontrabassoon is plenty low enough for any reasonable musical purpose. I will admit that my personal line between "absolutely necessary orchestral instrument" and "obvious joke instrument" isn't always clear to everyone else.
You should have posted a clip from his gigarackett video. Richard bobo is a living legend. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult it must be to create a new member of an orchestral family of instruments
Theres a very low frequency noise that earthquakes make before they happen. I experienced a 7.0 and sat in my basement for many hours listening to this baaaarely audible noise before each aftershock that week. It sounds like some asshole blaring an ultra low bass from his car stereo two blocks away. Its so faint but once you get attuned to it, you can't unhear it. The big trucks rumbling by at my sort of nearby intersection make the noise too. Its like a low low low bass. Now i have earthquake PTSD.
A huge bravo for this huge feat! You almost break records but as a clarinettist I would like to point out that to my knowledge the lowest instrument is a clarinet descending to C-2 (4.09). Stop there to get tired of the clarinets this huge record 🤣🎉
Ah, i recognize those tones from lawnmowers and gas-powered electricity generators
When the pitch goes so low you can use it as a metronome, that's when you know you've reached the ultimate goal
That last one sounds like a helicopter

subhyperbass bassoon
I went to college with him :) he taught me about subharmonic undertones on string instruments. Good to know his bass adventures didn’t stop there.
When you have to prove that you have perfect pitch.
Playing at 2x speed helps to hear the low notes

that might be the loudest un hearable note
A0: Still a note
I'm a contrabass clarinet player.

Notes are vibrations. You hear 10 Hz, for example, not as a musical note but as noise.
Sending this to the band gc asap, we need part 2
