Presentation transcript:

The double bass, or string bass, is the largest and lowest instrument of the string family. The double bass has sloping shoulders, instead of rounded shoulders like the other string instruments. This allows the player to have more room to move his or her arms, hands, and fingers in front of the instrument. Because of its size, the player stands or sits on a high stool to play the double bass.

The double bass player stands, or sits on a high stool, and leans the instrument against their body. This is because of the size of the instrument you can also lay it by plucking the string.
