Contrabass Clarinet


a rather large member of the clarinet family, the contrab-ss clarinet is in the key of b-flat, and is one octave below the b-ss clarinet, which in turn is one octave lower than the regular b-flat clarinet.
there are two types of contrab-ss clarinet- the straight contra and the curved contra. curved contrab-sses are approximately two and a half feet long and doubles back on it self three, or sometimes four times. the straight contrab-ss clarinet does not double back on itself, and as a result is well over five feet in length.

the contrab-ss clarinet is not often used, as it is a rather rare instrument, but when it is used, it usually doubles with the contrab-ssoon, or the regular b-ssoon.
i play the contrab-ss clarinet in the orchestra.
