At a recent concert performed by the Chicago Symphony, I noticed that about
half of the Bass instruments had an "attachment" on them. It was at the
top of the bass, on one side. It looked like perhaps its purpose was to
extend one of the strings (I assume to lower the frequency). It also looked
like there might have been some "keys" on it. Does anyone know anything
about this???
