Looking in my clar books, Rendall, with pics of several contrabass cls, shows a structure very much like this one, spoken of as "PEDAL", which may be a "carryover" from organ terminology as low bass IMHO. R's inst. is from 1860, but has the upper loops giving it its length, but not much larger for playing-ease than a [regular] bass cl. We need expert opinion, such as by Al Rice!! , dont we? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
