“The eldest member of the violin family”  

                                                      Double bass......😍😍

    The double bass is the largest string instrument in the orchestra. It’s warm, deep tones. It is often thought of as supporting the rest of the orchestra. 

The double bass is generally tuned in fourths, in contrast to the other members of the orchestral string family. The bass is a standard member of the orchestra's string section, along with violins, viola, and cello. The design of the double bass is in contrast to the instruments in the violin family. The double bass is played with a bow. The double bass player stands or sits on a high stool. Traditionally, double bassists stood to play solo and sat to play in the orchestra or opera pit. Most professional orchestral players use four-string double basses with a C extension.
