		It is pitched in between the Bb bass and the Bb contrabass instruments, with low range to Eb, D or C (concert Gb, F or Eb, an octave below the bass clef).
		The Eb contra is also popular because one can sight-transpose bass clef music (read the bass clef music by pretending its treble, while adjusting the key signature by removing 3 flats or adding 3 sharps or a combination).

		I assume by contra you mean the Eb one.
		I have to give Eoin credit for the fact that contras don't have as many parts and that they aren't as interesting.
		Contras are good for that satisfying low rumble, seeing how it goes as low as a tuba on some models.

	What is a Harp Guitar
		To modern aficionados, the strings (whether bass, treble or both) are "visually similar" to a harp’s strings, and, when plucked, utilize a harp technique and produce a harp-like tone.
		No specific reference to the bass strings alone is made (as rationalization for the harp connotation), therefore the intended implication might have been that the instrument as a whole has a more "harp-like" "deep" and "resonant" tone.
		Since the Fender bass guitar was introduced in 1951, that lap-held, bass version of a standard guitar has become such a standard instrument that it has necessarily commandeered the name, now and for all time.

	Wagner: Das Rheingold - Scene 2 ("Valhalla motive")
		While the part for the fourth trombone never specifies when the player is to play bass or contra-bass, the scores (editions by Dover are inexpensive and rather reliable) are very clear.
		When the fourth trombone is the true bass of the low brass (usually when the contra-bass tuba is functioning as the bass of the Wagner tuba choir), the contra-bass trombone is called for.
		It is an excellent study book for bass trombone which brings us into the register of this excerpt and can be helpful for developing a good legato style in the valve and pedal registers.

		He is a bountiful resource for Bass Guitar instruction and his writing style and quick wit keeps you interested.
		As such, it's more of a disconnected set of essays than a narrative; the discussion of significant bass players is somewhat spotty, and doesn't go into great detail on their music and style in the way that (for example" Todd Coolman's "The Bass Tradition" does.
		Comments: The Bass Book was very informative as to the process at which the bass guitar came to fruition and it's evolution.

	CD Review of Michalowski, Khoury and Bukowski - Close Embrace of the Earth on Abzu @ jazzreview.com
		Review: One of my top 10 of 2003, this is a mesmerizing work that showcases the musicianship of these three visionaries: Piotr Michalowski (alto and bass clarinet, baritone, tenor, soprano and sopranino saxophones, little instruments), Mike Khoury (violin, little instruments) and Lenni Bukowski (contra-bass, contra-alto, alto and bass clarinets, alto and bass saxophones, little instruments).
		The violin then takes a short melodic break only to be chased by bari, alto, and soprano all working over a narrative bass clarinet.
		The interplay on bass clarinet, bass saxophone, and contra-bass clarinet is spellbinding.

		Handwriting, the band's 1995 debut, is perhaps less a coherent album than an anthology of accumulated ambitions.
		"Saccharin", "Seratonin" and "Handwriting" are dark, somber string trios, thick with growling bass on loan from the opening of Gorecki's third, and reverently studied in the Michael Nyman technique of building musical tension through methodical note repetition.
		"Southbound to Marion" exchanges bass for Grimes' moody piano, and the short "Frida Kahlo" is hers alone.

	Dolmetsch Online - Millennium Recorders
		In order to match the pitch of renaissance stringed instruments in consort, the standard recorder ensemble with a great bass on the lowest part is actually one octave too high.
		If the lowest parts were played on a sub-contra bass which sounds one octave below the great bass and the top parts performed on a good free speaking modern tenor, in place of a piercing descant, the effect would be to reproduce the same rich majesty in such repertoire when performed on viols.
		The other reason for making extra large bass recorders is to strengthen the bottom end of recorder orchestras, now increasingly popular with recorder players all around the world, where large bass recorders double the lowest lines or can even play independent lines of their own.
