In 2016, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal became the first orchestra in the world to feature an octobass in its roster.
Native to Europe, this octobass was built at the Jean-Jacques Pagès workshop in 2010. This is a perfect reproduction of the original model of Jean-Baptiste Villaume, perfected in 1851. It is 11.10 feet tall, weighs 290 pounds, and has a few hundred pieces, including 237 making up the complex mechanism of the instrument.
The octobass is graciously made available to the OSM by Canimex (Drummondville).
