It developed from the early [[baroque]] “violone”, and by early classical times was more numerous than cellos in orchestral ensembles. Boccherini wrote various quintets with double bass instead of two ‘cellos. It is also included in [[Schubert]]’s “Trout” Quintet, his Octet and Dvorak’s String Quintet.

The double bass's origins are still disputed. While generally considered a member of the [[violin]]amily, the double bass features several notable differences. Included among these differences is a slimmer design on the top of the instrument, deeper dimensions front to back, and tuning in fourths instead of fifths. Each of these charecteristics is more typical of the [[viol]] family rather than the violin. However, many still believe that the double bass was an original member of the violin family.

The double bass – called here “the bass” - has come into its own as the rhythm section in many modern bands as plucked instrument. Common styles featuring the bass (also known as an upright bass) include [[jazz]] and [[blues]], as well as some rock music.
