The Contrabass Compendium

The following is a list of bass and contrabass instruments, past and present. The links generally point to pages with more information, images, and sometimes sound clips on the particular horns. Some of the instruments below are horns I own, and some are horns I want to own.

If I missed any or you have any to add, please feel free to send me a message. If you have one of anything below that you'd like to unload, please let me know. If I'm not interested, I'm sure you can find an interested party on the Contrabass-List digest.
