Big, metal, heavy, and with its own floor peg. I finally saw one in real life at a concert at the Stedelijk in Amsterdam about 10 years ago -- it was the Louis Andriessen piece "Hout", and it was the Loos Ensemble playing all low clarinets. Having started my musical misadventures 40 years ago on the bass clarinet, I'm always charged when I see groups of low clarinets, so I asked the player, who said it was an Eb contrabass. I think I understood correctly -- and it sure was bigger than the Bb contrabass next to it!
