Andrew, can you tell me what edition of Brahms 4 you have and where the 1st bassoon part is written with ledger lines below the tenor clef?

Kalmus. The bn1 part dips below the tenor staff (just barely--no ledger lines) in the slow mvt., m. 69--admittedly, that's the only place.


Now, as for the cello. I took Schoenberg's _Variations for Orchestra_ off the shelf as a test case and find the vc. descending below the tenor staff at m. 386. I expect that the vast majority of such exceptional excursions would be in divisis (as here) or in multiple stops. Interestingly enough, the same piece sends the vc. below the *treble* staff in two other places--as low as the Bb below middle C.
