The longest bassoon, known as the contrabassoon, measures approximately 16 feet (about 4.9 meters) in length when fully extended. This instrument plays an octave lower than the standard bassoon and is typically used in orchestras to provide a deep, resonant sound. Its extended tubing allows for this lower pitch, making it a unique addition to woodwind ensembles.
Typically the double bassoon (or contrabassoon) is given to the third or fourth chair bassoon, leaving the principal bassoon to play the 1st bassoon part and the 2nd chair bassoon to play the 2nd bassoon part. In some cases the double bassoon part is an auditioned spot, meaning that someone specifically auditioned for the double bassoon.

As long as an instrument has a reed, it's automatically considered a woodwind. Last time I checked, the contra bassoon had a reed, so it's considered a woodwind.
