low note

Bottom register sound

A low note is a musical tone at the lower end of the pitch range, produced by slower vibrations: The bass singer hit a resonant low note.

Figuratively, to end on a low note means to conclude disappointingly or sadly: The season ended on a low note with three straight losses.
