To the best of my knowledge, the MIDI standard just says note number
60 is "Middle C". It´s completely arbitrary where this middle is. Some
manufacturers take C4, so the lowest note is C-1, others, most notably
Yamaha, take C3, so you can go down to C-2.

That's right. According to the MIDI Detailed Spec (version 4.2) on page
10, MIDI note 60 is Middle C.
This is the fourth C on the piano, and traditionally known as C4 (261Hz)
on the piano. However, I've seen apps refer to middle C as C3, C4, and C5.
Crazy.
