It is a musical instrument, belonging to the woodwind family of instruments.
The contrabassoon and contrabass clarinet act as the lowest voices of the woodwind ensemble.

The contrabassoon a double reed instrument and the member of the bassoon family that has the lowest range of the bassoon family and the second lowest of the orchestra (second to the tuba). The lowest note a contrabassoon can read is the Bb below the second ledger line under the staff in bass clef. When a contrabassoon plays that note, you hear a note that is one octave lower than that note. I don't really play the contrabassoon, I play the double bass.
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.
