A contrabassoon typically uses a single reed, similar to that of a bassoon, but it is larger and produces a deeper sound. The reed is affixed to a metal tube known as a bocal, which connects to the instrument. The contrabassoon's unique design allows it to play lower pitches, contributing to its distinctive timbre in orchestral settings.
