The string bass looks like a very big violin.

It is often played while standing up or sitting on a tall stool.

A lot of the music for string bass requires the rhythmic plucking of the strings, but a bow is used too.

The string bass is the backbone of the orchestra, helping to keep everyone playing together.

String bass sizes are 3/4 (which is standard) and 1/2.
