    Way Cool!

    Montreal Symphony acquires Octobass!
    The Montreal Symphony Orchestra will debut its newly-acquired octobass at a concert this evening – making it the first orchestra in the world to have the the rare instrument in its ranks. Standing 12 feet 8 inches tall, the giant bass is a faithful reproduction of the original octobass, built by Jean-Baptiste Villaume around 1850. The three-stringed instrument, which can reach the lowest notes on a piano, will be performed by double bassist Eric Chappell.

    since he wasn't using the fretboard, he could only play three notes

      Looks like he's doing something with his left hand to manipulate the pitch.

        Each string and a pitch lever ( left hand) that changes the length of the strings like a capo on a guitar.
