:What is "low" or "deep", as in low notes and high notes, in ''Englisc''? There must be a word, but whether it is recorded I do not know. [[Brūcend:Hogweard|Hogweard]]

This would warrant some research for any lover of music and OE. So far, there's nothing I can currently find in OE literature that would confirm a suitable translation of "low" or "deep" in a musical sense. What's more, "niþer" appears to be primarily used when indicating a sense of direction. I gather the same consideration can be made for hither/hider, thither/þider, and yonder/geond.
 
However, there is usage of the word “dēop” in a more abstract sense in OE and the ME equivalents vary widely compared to “niþer.”
 
Here are some findings which you might have already seen on BT:
 
“Dēop wæter” -
“...ðīne geþancas þearle dēope” -
“Dēop lēan” -
“Þurh dēopne dōm” -
“On ðam dēopan dæge”
 
Moreover, a "Töne" in MG can be "hoch" or "tief." So, perhaps “seo dēophwistle” would be a better rendering of “bassoon” in OE. Even so, without the appropriate records or literature to back it up, this is clearly a shot in the dark.
