Contrabassoon

The Contrabassoon, also known as the double bassoon, is the contrabass instrument in the woodwind section and, together with the contrabass tuba, the deepest instrument in the orchestra.

Its deep and dark timbre has provided the foundation in orchestral works scored for large orchestras since the first half of the 19th century.
