	Double bass
		The double bass is a musical instrument, the largest and lowest-tuned member of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the violin, viola, and cello.
		The double bass, unlike the rest of the violin family, is derived from the viol family of instruments.
		The double bass is used extensively in western classical music as a standard member of the string section of symphony orchestras and smaller string ensembles[?].

	Double bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The double bass is closest in construction to the violone (literally "large viol"), the largest and lowest member of the viola da gamba family.
		Unlike the violone, however, the fingerboard of the double bass is unfretted, and the double bass has fewer strings (the violone, like most viols, generally had six strings, although some specimens had five or four).
		The double bass, unlike the rest of the violin family, still reflects influence and can be considered partly derived from the viol family of instruments, in particular the violone, the contrabass member of the viol family.

	OJBR: Vol 1 p. 5
		A second double bassist is also suggested in the prologue to Rameau’s Zaïs, created at the Opéra on 29 February 1748: in Oromazès’ air “Les torrens s’ouvrent un passage,” the instrument is specified in the plural, “contrebasses” (figure 47).
		In the 1778–1779 season, the double bass was eliminated from the petit chœur on the orchestra rosters (the harpsichord had disappeared in 1776); Hanot then became the leader of a separate section of four players.
		Brossard's dictionary suggests that the double bass was in use at the Opéra by 1703, and the earliest formal indication for the double bass, in the published score of Marin Marais’s Alcyone, proves that the instrument did perform there by 1706.
