Thanks for the info! I have learned to visit Naxos,com to get bios on some of these guys handy place, that! I love seenre calmness and can use it. Frequently. We oboists are notoriously neurotic although some have kindly told me that I’m not typical in that. I have a feeling, though, that they are only being kind. One never knows .

Bass clarinet uses all 10 digits as well (LH thumb has two keys, and on a low-C model, RH thumb has anything from 2-4 keys, depending on the model)

Actually, the Heckelphone uses all fingers and both thumbs.
Low Bb and low A played with right thumb…

Hi Arundonax. We also thought that the Contra only went down to low A with an extension. However, according to this wikipedia article, it appears that there was a version of the Contra that went down to low Ab! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrabassoon

I thought the lowest note on the Contra was a Bb….. some have low A extensions, but Ab?
