No. The double bass is a huge 4-stringed instrument that must be set on the floor, upright, while playing. For this reason, it is often called an upright bass.

Does the violin have the lowest pitch?

No, the violin does not have the lowest pitch among string instruments. The double bass, for example, has a lower pitch range than the violin, as it is tuned an octave lower. The viola, while also lower in pitch than the violin, is not as low as the double bass. Thus, the violin occupies a higher pitch range compared to these instruments.


To what family of orchestrail instruments does the double bass belong?

The double bass is said to belong to the violin family, and in general, wide terms, this is so. However, the viola and double bass have much more in common than either have with the violin, and if you find a recording of the bass being played in its highest ranges, it is easy to mistake it for a viola. So for general purposes, it can be said that the double bass is a member of the violin family, but it is really a member of the viola family.
