Chip Owen at the American company, Fox, began manufacturing an instrument in with some improvements.

Generally, during the 20th century changes to the instrument were limited to an upper vent key near the bocal socket, a tuning slide, and a few key linkages to facilitate technical passages. In , Heckel announced a completely new keywork for their instrument and Fox introduced their own new key system based on input from New York Philharmonic contrabassoonist Arlan Fast.

Most major orchestras use one contrabassoonist, either as a primary player or a bassoonist who doubles, as do a large number of symphonic bands. The contrabassoon is a supplementary orchestral instrument and is most frequently found in larger symphonic works, often doubling the bass trombone or tuba at the octave. The first composer to write a separate contrabassoon part in a symphony was Beethoven , in his Fifth Symphony it can also be heard providing the bass line in the brief " Janissary band" section of the fourth movement of his Symphony No.

Composers have often used the contrabassoon to comical or sinister effect by taking advantage of its seeming "clumsiness" and its sepulchral rattle, respectively.

Igor Stravinsky 's The Rite of Spring is one of the few orchestral works that requires two contrabassoons [15]. As a featured instrument, the contrabassoon can be heard in several works, most notably Maurice Ravel 's Mother Goose Suite , and at the opening of Piano Concerto for the Left Hand.

Most major symphony orchestras employ a contrabassoonist, and many have programmed concerts featuring their contrabassoonist as soloist. For example, Michael Tilson Thomas: One of the few contrabassoon soloists in the world is Susan Nigro , [20] who lives and works in and around Chicago. Besides occasional gigs with orchestras and other ensembles including regular substitute with the Chicago Symphony , her main work is as soloist and recording artist. Many works have been written specifically for her, [ ] and she has recorded several CDs.
