The contrabassoon, also known as the double bassoon, is the contrabass instrument in the woodwind section and, together with the contrabass tuba, the deepest instrument in the orchestra. Its deep and dark timbre has provided the foundation in works scored for large orchestras since the first half of the 19th century, like in Richard Strauss' famous opus “Also sprach Zarathustra”, where it joins the organ in the beginning to create a low-frequency “drone”.

The Standard Library of the Download Instrument contains all of the Contra bassoon samples of the Vienna Special Edition Volume 1 and of the Special Edition Volume 1 PLUS as well as some additional articulations. The Full Library offers the complete articulations on par with the ones of the big Collection Woodwinds II Extended Library. Please find a detailed list of included playing techniques under the menu item Sample Content.

Die wohl bis dato umfangreichste Kontrafagott-Library auf dem Markt. Der Klang ist tragfähig, warm und groß. Selbst im Fortissimo hält sich das “Schnarren” der Obertöne eher in Grenzen. Dank der großen Anzahl von Artikulationen sowohl im Ensemble, als auch solistisch sehr gut für alle möglichen Stile einsetzbar. Erweiterte Spieltechniken à la Lachenmann oder Helikopter-Geräusche fehlen, allerdings ist das nur ein kleines Manko, über das man ohne weiteres hinwegsehen kann.
