Varför?

Varför kallar man kontrabasar för Double Bass om man snackar engelska. Räcker det inte med upright?

Saxat från Wikipedia:
"The instrument's standard English name, double bass may be derived from the fact that it is approximately twice as large as the cello, or because the double bass was originally used to double the cello part an octave lower. The name may derive from its alleged viol family heritage, in that it is tuned lower than the standard bass viola da gamba. The name also refers to the fact that the sounding pitch of the double bass is an octave below the bass clef."

Jaha. Tackar. Det verkar som en logisk förklaring.
