Check out my poor rendition of some very low note on my 1820 Prescott Busetto. My only excuse for the poor performance is I was recovering from heart and breathing problems. "The Elephant" is 4 whole tones lower than the usual Eb rendition to manifest the low B string. So too with "Swanee River", which is pitched down to low C. Other excerpts are to long to transmit or even store on my web page.
