contrabassoon 

Harbinger of doom and destruction. This instrument has the lowest range of any woodwind, along with the contrabass clarinet, and has a sound powerful enough to turn straight men gay, gay men straight, republicans into democrats and atheists into priests. Do not EVER take your girlfriend to an orchestra performance where there is a contrabassoonist, because he will steal your bitch before the end of the symphony's first movement.

contrapreneur 

Portmanteau of "contra" and "entrepreneur." Someone who sees the business possibilities in reactionary and counter-revolutionary operations.
The #FusionRiseUp conference is a great place for a contrapreneur to get their startup recognized by the CIA and the State Department, so they can participate in future US-backed color "revolutions."

Contrabass Bugle 

The Biggest Baddest Instrument in the Marching band!
often misnamed as a Contrabass Tuba, it can be called contrabass, tuba, Contra (the most common name), or HOLY MOFOing monstrosity (normally the first reaction when you see it for the first time

Can wiegh between 35 to 85 pounds, hard to march with (since they block 50% of periferal view), super expencsive, and the people that play it are the coolest, toughest, badass people out there, Contra Players should always be treaten with respet, and always allowed to sit in the back of the bus, be last in the line, or the last in anything (it just how they roll)
"What that giant entanglement of metal being carred on that guys shoulder"
"Thats a contrabass Bugle, friend, the best thing in this band"

Contrabass Saxophone 

Likely one of the lowest members of the Saxophone family. Stands at around 6 1/2 feet tall and weighs around 45-50 pounds. Less than 30 are believed to exist worldwide.

Has a wide range and a broad, mellow tone. Lower notes can be low enough to sound alike to human ears. Generally not specifically needed but a nice addition to most symphonies, if they can find one...

Should you go looking for this elusive beast, a good place to start would be the Eppelsheim company based out of Munich. Retail price is will set you back about $25,000-$30,000.
Good Luck.
Guy 1: What is that you're playing?

Guy 2: It's a Contrabass Saxophone.

Guy 1: Whoah...

Guy 2: Yup. I had to mortgage my house and use my kid's college money to afford it, but it was soooo worth it.
