Double Bass

Standing at 6 feet tall, it's the largest bowed stringed instrument in the modern orchestra. Considered the lowest-pitched member of the violin family, it is also called bass fiddle, contrabass, or string bass. Often the double bass plays the same music as the cello, but an octave lower.
