Standard concert pitch tuning is 440Hz for the A above middle C. So
every 88-key piano's lowest note is 27.5Hz. What took him so long to
catch up? ;-)

I believe the lowest pitch on a pipe organ would come from one of the
two 64' pipes that exist in the world. The low C on a pipe organ
keyboard's reference pitch is 64Hz for an 8' pipe, so a 64' pipe would
be three octaves below that = 8Hz.
