Double Bass

A 2668 door typically refers to a door size of 2 feet 6 inches wide by 6 feet 8 inches tall. This measurement indicates a standard interior or exterior door size commonly used in residential construction. The dimensions can vary slightly based on manufacturer specifications, but the 2'6" x 6'8" size is widely recognized.

The ideal string height for a size 44 double bass typically ranges from 6 to 10 millimeters at the nut and around 10 to 14 millimeters at the end of the fingerboard. This height can vary based on playing style, preference, and the specific setup of the instrument. Players may adjust string height for easier playability or to achieve a particular sound. It’s best to consult with a professional luthier for personalized adjustments.

Instruments similar to the double bass include the cello, which is slightly smaller and tuned an octave higher, and the bassoon, which shares a similar range and is a woodwind instrument. The viola da gamba, an early string instrument, also resembles the double bass in size and playing technique. Additionally, the electric bass guitar, while quite different in construction, serves a comparable role in modern music ensembles.

The register of a double bass typically ranges from E1 (the lowest note) to about C5 (the highest note), covering roughly four octaves. Its fundamental tones are in the lower bass range, making it one of the lowest-pitched instruments in the string family. The double bass is often used to provide harmonic and rhythmic foundation in orchestras, ensembles, and various music genres. Its deep, resonant sound contrasts with the higher registers of other string instruments.

The highest note a double bass can produce typically depends on the specific instrument and the skill of the player, but it generally reaches up to E5 or F5 when using advanced techniques like harmonics. Standard tuning allows the instrument to play up to around D4 comfortably, with higher notes requiring more advanced techniques. Some virtuoso players may even reach higher pitches through harmonic techniques.

A double bass typically has a body length of around 44-46 inches, a width of about 16-20 inches, and a depth of approximately 6-19 inches. The standard scale length of the strings is roughly 41.3 inches. In terms of weight, a double bass can weigh anywhere from 15 to 30 pounds, depending on the materials used in construction and the size of the instrument.

Yes, there is a double bass solo in the ballet score "Romeo and Juliet" by Prokofiev. The solo appears in Act 1, Scene 2, where it represents Friar Laurence.

4x7 will give us 28 and a double of 14 will give us 28 so the answer is 14

Of the modern orchestral strings, the string bass or double bass has the largest bow, but not the longest. While the wooden part of the bow is much larger (nearly twice the diameter) of a violin bow, and the hair "ribbon" is wider and thicker with heavier hair, the violin bow is longer.

The bass bow is heavier because it needs to have more weight behind it to move the heavy strings on the bass. It is short because the player does not bend his arm like the smaller instruments, and has a smaller range of motion across the strings. This is not a big problem, because the dynamics of bowing let the bass player move the bow more slowly across the strings and thus can get just as long a note as violinists can with their longer bows.

the idea for a double bass kit came from the jass drummer Louie Bellson who thought of it in school. Double bass drum kits were first used in jazz by the likes of Ray McKinley and Ed Shaughnessey. They were made popular by drummers like Kieth Moon (The Who), Ginger Baker (Cream) and Nick Mason (Pink Floyd).

Yes, Double Bassists can play chords by drawing the bow across two strings as opposed to one or by using pizzicato across two strings, and by placing their fingers where they want depending on the note they want to produce.

For starters, a standard guitar has six strings, while a bass guitar usually has only four (there are five and even six-string models for advanced styles.) Regarding the sound and role of the instruments, the guitar is in a higher register than the bass guitar, and is more commonly used as the lead instrument in a band than the bass (there are some exceptions to this). The bass guitar, as the name suggests, is in a lower register and is most frequently part of the rhythm section of a band. Again, many genres of music do incorporate bass leads, such as funk (Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), Alternative/Metal (Les Claypool of Primus) and jazz fusion (Jaco Pastorius) styles.

An electric bass guitar is simply a bass with the electronic anatomy of an electric guitar. Like a six-string electric guitar, an electric bass guitar uses magnetic pickups to "pick up" the vibrations created by the strings and send the sound signal to an amplifier. Effects may also be used to alter the sound quality of the signal.

Well a bass has a low sound electric has to be played with an amp and guitar acoustic can be played any where

In theory a bass and a guitar both have a vital role in a band and even though the guitar is looked up to more by people do not let this put you of learning the bass, as there are way too many guitar players to bassists ratio.

THE original bass guitar was developed bu Paul Tutmarc in the 1930s as a replacement for the double bass, but he received little success for the invention. In the 1950's Leo Fender (who, obviously, is the man who strated Fender. Doesn;t have anything to do with it any more but that's another story) took the idea and produced the first mass produced bass guitar on the market; the precision bass. This was hugely popular and since bass guitars have become the norm in all bands, and variations upon the precision and still made and extremely popular.

Double bass, also known as the upright bass, string bass, or contrabass, is used in orchestras and is the lowest pitched string instrument in an orchestra. It is played upright, while it is resting on the ground as the neck (the part where you place your fingers) extends past the head. It is tuned in fourths unlike the violin, which is tuned in fifths, and is used for numerous genres not only for classical, but for jazz, bluegrass, blues, and more.

The double bass is the lowest part in the string section of a symphony orchestra. It is usually the lowest part in chamber orchestras as well, if there is no double-bass the lowest part will be played by the cellos.

(Do not confuse this with a basso-continuo, which is a harpsichord part in Baroque era (1600-1750) music.)

Mongolia is one of the thinest populated countries in the world.But it is the 19th largest country in the world by area.

YES..

real personal thing for each drummer individually but here are my points on that.

Almost every drummer cranks springs on their pedals so that's the major factor in playing fast double bass.Just from the physics standpoint it's easier to hit the surface when the rebound from spring is there. Also your technique(lifting whole leg/playing using only ankles or combination of both), basshead tension(looser gives more lowend while reducing the response of your pedals/tighter obviously produces more rebound even with loose springs but also makes your bassdrum sound much higher and longer though this could be solved with few towels) and sitting position or your throne height affect the speed, power and thus the feel and settings of your pedal. Other bits include beater height and angle: in order to play loud you should put beaters relatively high and have them angled at 45 degree angle. From that point as you'll be playing you can twitch them up or down by your preferance. By the time your playing skills will improve, you'll figure out specific adjustments that'll be comfy.

If you're talking 4/4, NOT 3/4, then I'd say about 6ft 1.

Double Bass.

(The Piccolo is- I believe- the highest sounding member of the woodwind family of standard orchestral instruments whilst the Double Bass is the lowest sounding member of the String family).

On a standard double bass, the lowest note is E1 - approximately 41Hz. Five-stringed basses can also achieve B0 - 31Hz, which is almost as low a tone as human hearing can detect (around 20Hz).
