Description: The contrabassoon is a larger version of the bassoon sounding an octave lower. Its technique is similar to its smaller cousin, with a few notable differences. Compared to the bassoon the contrabassoon's reed is larger, the fingering is slightly different, and the instrument is twice as long.
