How low is a piano?

I've heard that the open low string on a upright bass is about 42hz. Does anyone know where the lowest notes on a piano fall?

Many digital pianos and keyboards (much more commonly recorded) also offer an octave of pitch control for each key, so they can also reach down below A0. Marty
