The biggest/lowest instrument in the standard woodwind family (meaning it is used in most orchestral scores) has to be the Contra-Bassoon, or the Double Bassoon as they call it in some countries. The absolute largest instrument in the woodwind family is the Contrabass Saxophone in Eb. It's lowest note, a written low B-Flat on the treble clef, sounds two octaves and an major sixth below a concert B-Flat pitch, and stands 6'4 (1.9m) tall and 45 pounds in weight.
