String Bass

The string bass, also known as the double bass or upright bass, is a large string instrument that produces deep, resonant sounds. It serves as the foundation in many musical ensembles, providing the bass line that supports harmony and rhythm. Played while standing or sitting, it is typically bowed or plucked with the fingers. The instrument has four strings tuned to produce a wide range of low notes, essential for adding depth and richness to music across genres like classical, jazz, and rock. Its deep tones help anchor the overall sound and rhythm of a piece.
