Yes, it does make a nice frame. But having never played one, although I did
play the normal one, I wasn't sure that's what it is. I can tell you I would
rather sit in front of a couple of contras rather than in front of a bass
trombone..

Thanks, guys! Bill: Yes, that is indeed a contrabassoon. It made a
nice frame, dontcha think? Moose: Yes, there were a couple of contras
in those photos from the Vienna musical instrument museum I visited.
The regular bassoon is about 8 feet long and folded once. The contra is
about 16 feet long and eliptical. It is to the regular bassoon as the
double bass is to the cello, but more so. It plays down to the lowest
B-flat on the piano, and with an extension, down to A. That low, you
feel the pitch as much or more than you hear it.
