While other woodwinds move to the upper register at the second harmonic above the fundamentals, this one shifts at the third register via an "overblowing" process. A quirk seen in German players of this instrument is to retain the string for constructing the mouthpiece, while the rest of the world now uses a metallic ligature. The basset horn and the bass and contralto variants are common, but more standard is the soprano kind, pitched in A or more often B flat with seventeen keys and six tone holes.
