Single reed woodwinds.
The most common single reed instruments are the clarinet and saxophone. However, there are many others that are lesser known and specific to certain parts of the world.
There are two kinds of woodwind instruments that have single reeds: the clarinet family, and the saxophone family. For any size clarinet or saxophone, there is a special size of bamboo reed that fits the mouthpiece for that size. The reed is fastened to the mouthpiece by a ring or band called a ligature. Double-reed instruments have reeds made of two pieces of bamboo instead of one, and the reed fits onto the crook or neck instead of onto a mouthpiece.
The two subfamilies of reed instruments are double reeds and single reeds. Double reed instruments, such as oboes and bassoons, use two reeds that vibrate against each other, while single reed instruments, like clarinets and saxophones, use one reed that vibrates against a mouthpiece. Each subfamily produces distinct sounds and has unique playing techniques.
