The lowest note of a double bass is 41.2 Hz and a piano goes down to an A at 27.5 Hz. Even a normal acoustic guitar goes down to 82.4 Hz.The standard 440 Hz A is the A above middle C on a piano. The A string on an acoustic guitar is 2 octaves below that which makes it 110 Hz, and the bass E string on the acoustic guitar is a fourth lower than the A string which makes it 82.4. The double bass and bass guitar go an octave lower again.
Any standard reference text giving the frequency range of instruments will confirm these bottom frequencies.
