PEDAL See also:CLARINET , a contrabass See also:instrument invented in 1891 by M. F. Besson to See also:complete the quartet of clarinets, as the See also:contrafagotto or See also:double See also:bassoon completes that of the See also:oboe See also:family; it is constructed on practically the same principles as the clarinet; and consists of a See also:tube io ft. See also:long, in which cylindrical and conical bores are so ingeniously combined that the acoustic principles remain unchanged. The tube is doubled up twice upon itself; at the upper end the See also:beak See also:mouthpiece stands out like the See also:head of a See also:viper, while at the See also:lower a See also:- METAL
- METAL (through Fr. from Lat. metallum, mine, quarry, adapted from Gr. µATaXAov, in the same sense, probably connected with ,ueraAAdv, to search after, explore, µeTa, after, aAAos, other)
metal tube, in the shape of a U with a wide gloxinea-shaped See also:- BELL

bell, is joined to the wooden tube. The beak mcuthpiece is exactly like that of the other clarinets but of larger See also:size, and it is furnished with a single or beating See also:reed. There are 13 keys and 2 rings on the tube, and the fingering is the same as for the B See also:flat clarinet except for the eight highest semitones. The See also:compass of the pedal clarinet is as follows:

The instrument is in B flat two octaves below the B flat clarinet, and, like it, it is a transposing instrument, the See also:music being written in a See also:key a See also:tone higher than that of the See also:composition, and in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to avoid See also:ledger lines a whole See also:octave higher besides. The tone is See also:rich and full except for the lowest notes, which are unavoidably a little rough in quality, but much more sonorous than the corresponding notes on the double bassoon. The upper See also:register resembles the chalumeau register of the B flat clarinet, being reedy and sweet. The instrument is used as a fundamental See also:bass for the See also:wood See also:wind at See also:Kneller See also:- HALL
- HALL (generally known as SCHWABISCH-HALL, tc distinguish it from the small town of Hall in Tirol and Bad-Hall, a health resort in Upper Austria)

Hall, and it has also been used at Covent See also:Garden to accompany the music of Fafner and Hunding in the Nibelungen See also:Ring.
Many attempts have been made since the beginning of the 19th See also:century to construct contra clarinets, but all possessed inherent faults and have been discarded (see See also:BATYPHONE). A contrabass clarinet in F, an octave below the See also:basset See also:horn, constructed by See also:Albert of See also:Brussels in 189o, was, we believe, considered successful, but it differed in See also:design from the pedal clarinet.
