Theoretically if you depress 4 valves on a BBb (and pulled slides to compensate for the "valve swindle") you could hit B 4+ octaves below middle C . Can some of you hit that note? what horn? My Conn 24J peters out around D or Db above that.
Anyone have a 5-valve horn that can go even lower than B (without pedals).

If a BBb is 18' long, then the length of the sound wave of that B would be around 70' wouldn't it?
