Bass

The double bass is the largest stringed instrument used in a symphony orchestra. Like most other classical string instruments, the double bass in played with a bow or by plucking the strings with one’s finger, known in classical music terms as pizzicato. The double bass is a relatively new instrument, having been developed from the now obsolete viola da gamba, which the double bass replaced in classical settings. In a symphony orchestra, the double bass is played upright, with the bassist standing behind it. There are two different bow designs, the German Bow and the French Bow, both of which are ideal for classical performance. The double bass produces a very deep, resonant sound that is generally mellow in tone. Therefore, in classical settings, it is generally not used as a solo instrument, but rather to provide bass accompaniment to the rest of the orchestra.

In addition to classical settings, the double bass has come to be used in a wide variety of folk and modern music settings since the beginning of the 20th century. Jazz music in America, in particular, revolutionized the use of the double bass, utilizing it as a replacement for the tuba in early Dixieland Jazz. Because the tuba is a wind instrument, tuba players were unable to play “walking” bass lines on the tuba at fast tempos. Bass players were able to easily accomplish this. The use of double bass in Jazz led the instrument to eventually be used in country, blues, and even early Rock and Roll. As a result, an upright or double bass player today can find a broad range of applications for their playing, as double bass is usually highly sought after in classical, jazz, folk, and pop music circles. As a result, a prospective bass student should seek to work one-on-one with a Bass tutor if they wish to learn the instrument.
