Personally, I think that the contrabassoon is about the coolest woodwind instrument on the planet. My wind ensemble is doing a piece called "Bells for Stokowski" and the contrabassoon plays as the bottom of a sax quartet (quintet with the cbassoon). It hits some incredibly low notes, and sounds darn cool doing it. Very fun instrument.
