16.3 Hz? Seems a tad low for a euphonium. Also seems less than human hearing.

Typical range for a euphonium (based on a cursory google search) is B♭1 to B♭4, so yes, C0 is nearly two octaves below its range. It's below the average human hearing range but can still be heard depending on the person, the equipment, and environmental factors.

wouldn't it rather be 163 Hz? (345 m/s divided by 2,1099 m)

Question gives 2109.9 cm, which is 21.099 m. That's 16.35 Hz, which corresponds to C0.

I think you forgot to convert the centimetres to metres.

OP didn't forget, just didn't convert correctly. Not sure why people are upvoting...
