First of all, C Hyperbassoon is actually known as Suboctocontrabassoon (or Octosubcontrabassoon), or even Hyperoctosubcontrabassoon, or for more accuracy, the Hyperoctocontrabassoon. Why? Because the Subcontrabassoon is actually known as the Octocontrabassoon.
@@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516 If that were the case, you would see those names in, for instance, the Flute family. You would see “Double Subcontrabass Flute” and “Double Octocontrabass Flute” which you don’t. It’s just “Subcontrabass”, “Double Contrabass” and then an octave lower than that, the “Hyperbass.” Subcontrabass is not synonymous with Octocontrabass, therefore an octave lower than that MUST be Hyperbass, as seen in the flute Family, with the Hyperbass being an octave lower than the Double Contrabass. Same thing applies for Bassoon family. An octave lower than Subcontrabassoon must be Hyperbassoon.
Does the contrabassoon have the same fingerings as the bassoon but in different octaves? Is the switch from bassoon to contrabassoon relatively easy? Thanks :)
