| | Contrabassoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It was around that time that the contrabassoon began gaining acceptance in church music, and by the end of the 18th century it was making its way into British military bands. | | | Often, it was (and still is) called upon to replace parts originally written for the contrabass sarrusophone, which had fallen out of favor for its poor intonation and tone quality. | | | Orchestrally, the contrabassoon is featured in Maurice Ravel's Mother Goose Suite and Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. |

| | This concert is part of a fund-raising effort to purchase an instrument called a contrabassoon, the lowest pitched instrument in the woodwind family and one often used in college- and professional-level band music. | | | “With the growth in numbers and quality of the music program at Western, there is a definite need to expand some of our instrumental inventory and the contrabassoon would be a valuable addition to the department and the university,” said John T. West, professor of music at Western and band director. | | | The goal is to purchase the instrument within two years. |

| | JNL 3: CONTRABASSOON? LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS |
| | Contrabassoon fingering -- The manufacturer's chart, such as that below, is the point of departure. | | | Beyond those general conditions, though, the contrabassoon is more vulnerable to damage from carelessness, thoughtlessness and abuse than are smaller, lighter instruments. | | | Don't trust the claims about caulking products that "never harden, crack or shrink." I believe the thread is safest and best in the long run, and contrabassoons are for the long run. |

| | The Heckel contrabassoon has a noble, sonorous and unmistakable sound. | | | This is what makes each Heckel contrabassoon an absolutely unique instrument. | | | Due to its integrated tuning slide at the great "S" the tuning can be easily adjusted from 437,5 Hz until 442,5 Hz what represents a great advantage, in particular in the case of temperature variations during a concert. |

| | Or does a contrabassoon read music the way a string bass does, the concert pitch being an octave lower than what's written, if that makes sense? | | | I was looking at the contrabassoon fingerings on this website and I noticed that there was only one note that you couldn't hit on a regular bassoon. | | | I don't play double reeds myself, but this question has been nagging me for quite some time. |
