[Suggestion] Change the default English instrument name "double bass" to "contrabass"

In German we call this instrument “Kontrabass”. Or colloquial “Bass-Geige” which would be “bass violin” in English.

“Doppel” (=“double” in English) is in German never used to describe any instrument in the lower bass register. We always use “Kontra”, like Kontra-Fagott, Kontra-Basssoxophon …
