Low C is rarely used. But it is a real shame when it is and you do not have it. Like Dave say, low D is more common. It matches the low A on the bari sax and it is easy on the arranger to duplicate low woodwind passages.

On some arrangements, you can tell the arranger only assumed a low Eb (or E) was available by the way a descending line jumps the octave on BC but keeps going lower on tuba, etc. In these cases it is fun and tasteful to drop the notes down where they “should” be.

Some contra alto parts can be covered on a low C bass clarinet too. There may only be a few low note differences that I transpose and pencil in on the BC part.
