    What is the lowest woodwind instrument?

    Question #65926. Asked by flutebassoon.

    Brainyblonde

    The contrabassoon acts as the lowest voice of the wind ensemble. However it is often used to support other orchestrations, such as doubling the bass trombone or tuba at the octave. Frequent exponents of such scoring were Brahms and Gustav_Mahler.

    I don't play them at the same time. I play one at one tome then I play another one at a different time. I have to learn something other than bassoon for marching band becacause I can't march with a bassoon so I picked flute. Both of them are awsume, but I like flute better.
