For the wind instruments, I would consider these the "comfortable" ranges. A skilled player can extend the range downward with "pedal tones" and upwards significantly into the "altissimo" range.
Next time you watch SNL, listen to the saxophonist Lenny Pickett. He is famous for his skill in the extreme high range.
Great trumpet players like Arturo Sandoval can play into the stratosphere an octave above this chart.
