 Contrabass range
Author: graham 
Date:   2002-11-03 09:57

I have recently hired a contrabass in order to play an orchestral part, and it seems I have a range issue. The part is written down to bottom C (and includes C sharps etc). The contra I have borrowed only goes down to D. It is a Leblanc "paperclip" and was owned by one of the leading bass players in London. It is often hired to professional orchestras. Is there a model that goes all the way to C, or may the compaoser have been mistaken in writing this low? I think there may be an issue concerning age, since it seems likely that this contra is about 30 years old.

Thanks for your help/information.
