A contrabassoon, also known as a double bassoon. It plays an octave lower than a regular bassoon. Hope this helped! xx
No, a bassoon is not larger than a contrabassoon, nor can it play lower. The contrabassoon is essentially a larger version of the bassoon and is designed to play an octave lower. While both instruments belong to the woodwind family, the contrabassoon produces deeper, richer tones due to its size and design.
the oboe and the bassoon use double reeds. So do the English horn (a larger kind of oboe) and the contra-bassoon (a larger bassoon.)

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.

The bigger version is the contrabassoon, which plays one octave lower.
When constructed, they are about 4' 4" tall.
