Structural features of the contrabass

The contrabass is from the violin family and is a bowed string instrument that is similar to the cello in terms of the way it is played so that it is placed on the floor and between the player's legs. It's sound is the lowest sound among stringed instruments in the world. Like other instruments of this family, the contrabass also consists of four main parts, i.e. handle, strings, resonating bowl, and bow. The total length of the instrument is about one meter and 80 centimeters. The number of strings is four (there are also examples of 5 strings of this instrument) and the resonating bowl is wooden and pear-shaped. The bow is also made of horse hair and is used for this instrument in two French or German models. The contrabass strings are tuned the opposite of the violin. This instrument is used in orchestras to create depth and weight in the pieces. Due to the high power of the sound of this instrument, solo pieces are rarely written for it and it is usually used together with other instruments. One of the main problems of this instrument is its excessive size, which makes it difficult to move around. Paul Chambers and James Jamerson can be mentioned among the most famous contrabass players in the world.
