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.

Music in Perth

Perth, the largest city in Western Australia, has given rise to a number of prominent musicians. Some of the city's most famous musicians include Kevin Parker, Troy Sivan, Rolf Harris, David Helfgott, Luke Steele, and Tim Manchin. Prominent artists in the genres of rock, classical and electronic music have lived in Perth. The isolation of Perth is becoming a problem for many growing musicians, as it increases tour and advertising costs. As a result, many artists are leaving Perth to increase their popularity. The main music venues in Perth are the Perth Concert Hall, the Perth Arena, the Challenge Stadium, the Metropolitan Concert Clubs in Freemantle and Perth, the Fremantle Arts Center, the Belvoir Amphitheater, and the Red Hill Auditorium. Major international tournaments often take place outdoors, in-stadium venues such as the WACA Cricket Ground, Subiaco Oval, Members Equity Stadium, or Perth Oval. Festival events are usually held at the Clermont Exhibition Center or in Perth, Spain. The Supreme Court Gardens provides a great alternative outdoor venue and have hosted events such as David Bowie.
