double, slips into the outer parts, as in a telescope, so that by
change of the vibrating length any tone within the compass of the
instrument (which may be bass or tenor or alto or even, in rare
instances, soprano) is commanded. It is the only member of the family

it has a rich and mellow sound, which becomes harsh and blatant when
the tones are forced; used with discretion, its effect is often solemn
and majestic. - The common European bittern.
