What orchestra a group is the double bass in?

Answer 1

Not usually. Traditionally, string quartets are composed of two violins, a viola, and a cello. However, there are some compositions that require a double bass in replacement for one of those instruments.

Answer 2

Usually EADG but some double basses have five strings with the lowest being a B. Other four string basses have something called a low C-extension, this means that the lowest string is no longer an E but a C.

Answer 3

The Double Bass is the largest, and lowest pitched, instrument in the orchestral family of string instruments. It is played by using a bow, also known as arco, or plucking the strings, known as pizzicato.

The Double Bass is a transposing instrument and plays notes an octave lower than they are written. It is tuned in fourths, rather than fifths like other stringed instruments, and the names of the strings are, from lowest to highest, E, A, D and G.
