{{about|a variety of instruments in the contrabass register|the string instrument sometimes referred to as contrabass|double bass|the contrabass voice type|basso profondo}}{{Short description|An instrument tuned in octaves lower than the standard instrument}}Contrabass (from ) refers to several musical instruments of very low pitchâgenerally one octave below bass register instruments. While the term most commonly refers to the double bass{{cn|date=June 2015}} (which is the bass instrument in the orchestral string family, tuned lower than the cello), many other instruments in the contrabass register exist.The term "contrabass" is relative, usually denoting a very low-pitched instrument of its type, rather than one in a particular range. For example, the contrabass flute's lowest note is approximately an octave higher than that of the contrabass clarinet. Instruments tuned below contrabass instruments, such as the double contrabass flute or subcontrabass saxophone, may be referred to as "double contrabass," "triple contrabass," "subcontrabass," or "octocontrabass" instruments. On the other hand, the "contrabass" classification often includes such instruments.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia
