correctamundo JR- voices of instruments are usually only seperated by a 
fourth or a fifth
I am talking about the lowest note on a cello or baritone sax, that low C.
those instruments are definitely NOT bass instruments, they are baritones.
I would like an istrument that would have that range with facility so that I 
could play bari or cello parts in a harmonica version of a sax or string 
quartet.

great to have your expertise back on the L JR!
