Casouza - 31Hz is only on five string acoustic bass. I don't know how common they are in orchestral music but not very common in Jazz. It is often used in rock music (5 and 6 string bass guitar) but not for the purpose of the lowest note B=31Hz but for the ease of playing (same for the 6th string). The A=27.5 Hz on the piano i seldom used - just listen to recordings. I am not familiar with Oscar Peterson's piano but just cannot understand why they put non audible (16Hz) string on the instrument. 40Hz should cover at least 90% of music and I would rather go for bass performance than extension.
I'm not a musician but I'm just guessing that most of music is written for common instruments and would be difficult to find jazz composition that requires 5 string acoustic bass.
Isn't acoustic bass in orchestra a 4 string instrument? Any musicians here?
