Behold, what some people called, "The Great Bass", meet the Contralto Clarinet. This plus sized instrument goes by many names, two of which already being stated.
Some other names for it are Contra-alto Clarinet, and EEb Contrabass. This fine piece of art is a Rosewood Selmer Contralto Clarinet. Pitched in the key of Eb and ranged an Octave lower then the Alto Clarinet. The lowest note being a F#1/Gb1, (in concert pitch), and the highest, a D#4/Eb4 (also in concert pitch, also disregarding the extension of the altissimo range).

I own a accordion I keep in a nice suitcase. I'll post the picture when I get back from my Dad's place. He bought for me as a gift some few years ago. Never bothered to really try and learn to play it. Mabye I should start now just for the fun of it.
That's sweet, you should totally give it a shot!

I'm not sure I'm ready to forgive quite yet.
I beg, please bring mercy upon me my dear Cicero.
Can you play it?
Yes!
Could you post a video of you playing it? Would love to hear it.
I'll try if I have free time.
