The underrated instrument in an orchestra. A string bass is the largest instrument in an orchestra, and has the lowest notes, and is the quietest instrument. In ascending order, the bass has the E string, A string, D, string, and G string. The bass’s purpose in an orchestra is to keep a tempo usually for other instruments in the orchestra. Basses don’t always do this, they can have the melody, it’s just not so common. It’s also not an easy instrument to play, it’s quite difficult. It’s still a wonderful instrument to play that can create beautiful music. The orchestra also depends on the bass to be on the beat to keep the other instruments in sync with each other, and to be in tune. The bass is really an important instrument. Don’t give bass players any crap, it can really get to them sometimes. They’re important!

Person B: Oh! That’s a string bass!
Person A: It doesn’t do much.
Person B: Well, actually, it does. You may not be able to hear it too well, but the bass is keeping the rest of the orchestra on the beat and in tune!
Person A: Wow, it sounds like the orchestra really relies on the bass a lot.
Person B: They do, but they don’t like to admit it. They just give them a lot of crap.
Person A: Wow. They shouldn’t do that.
Person B: IKR!
