Double Pedal B flat

[prototypedenNIS]

Just because you can't hear it, doesn't mean you didn't hit it.

I've got a sound sweep on my computer that can start lower than the JVC Kaboom I had it connected to can play, but you can feel vibrations which your entire body can pick up before your ears can. It would be possible to then control these vibrations by feel as opposed to by ear.

When you think about it, much playing is done by feel and not by ear.

I was looking for the mythbusters plausible sign but can't find it.

You CAN hear it (double pedal C) and quite clearly.

Ray Grim lands on that Bb and octave below the Bb below the staff all the time. Makes my ears tickle inside when he does it. A near spritual tingle. The floor quivers when he does it.
So how do you do it Ray? I can get to the C on my 3/4 Holton (so I'd suggest size doesn't matter too much here) but not the Bb.

Actually, Johnny, I can pretty readily get down to the pedal F, however the double pedal Bb is not so easy. When I am well warmed up, I can usually play the double pedal, but it is not a great sounding note, nor is it powerful. It makes my nose tickle because it seems my whole face is flapping.
