The musical instrument with the lowest pitch and lowest frequency is the pipe organ, specifically when using its largest pipes, known as the 64-foot pipes. These pipes can produce frequencies as low as 16 Hz, which is below the threshold of human hearing. Other instruments like the contrabassoon or Bass Guitar have low registers, but none can match the extreme low frequencies of the largest pipe organ pipes.
the lower the frequency the lower the pitch; higher pitch lower frequency
Pitch is frequency: the higher the pitch the higher the frequency, and vice-versa.
The lowest pitch is typically produced by large instruments or objects, such as a tuba, bassoon, or the human voice in its bass range. Among natural phenomena, the deep rumble of thunder or seismic activity can also generate very low frequencies. In terms of sound waves, the frequency determines pitch, with lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitches. Therefore, the lower the frequency of the sound wave, the lower the pitch it produces.
The pitch of a note is a nonlinear function of its frequency. Specifically, pitch perception follows a logarithmic scale, meaning that equal frequency ratios correspond to equal perceived pitch intervals. For example, doubling the frequency of a note raises its pitch by an octave, which is a nonlinear relationship. Thus, while frequency itself is measured linearly, our perception of pitch is nonlinear.
Pitch is indicated exclusively by the frequency of sound waves, measured in Hertz (Hz). Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches. Additionally, the perception of pitch can be influenced by the context and harmonic relationships within musical compositions.
Smaller instruments produce higher frequencies. Compare, for example, the violin, the viola, and the bass. All have the same shape, but increasing size, with correspondingly lower pitch.
The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency of a sound wave, which determines the pitch of the sound. It is related to the physical properties of the vibrating source. In music, it is the note that defines the overall pitch of a sound or musical tone.
The quality of a musical note depends on the harmonic content, which is determined by the instrument or sound source. The pitch of a musical note depends on the frequency of the vibrations produced by the sound source.
The Contra-bassoon is 18 feet of tubing and can produce a lower pitch than a tuba, but is a rare instrument and I am not 100 percent sure it produces the lowest sound of any musical instrument.

The frequency range of a piano typically spans from about 27.5 Hz to 4186 Hz, covering a wide range of musical notes from the lowest to the highest pitch.
The proper term for the lowest natural frequency of a vibrating object is the fundamental frequency. It is the base frequency at which an object vibrates and determines the pitch of the sound produced by the object.

The instrument that can produce the lowest pitch are Saxophone,Woodwind & low pitch Piano ect....
The pitch of the lowest key on a piano is A0, which vibrates at a frequency of about 27.5 Hz.
