Double and single reeds are practically the same except that the fact that a double reed is two single ones conjoined that makes a little hole at the top. Also, double reeds can produce a sound while it is not connected to an instrument while a single reed cannot.
oboes are double reeded instruments whereas clarinets use single reeds
I suspect you are referring to single reeds (clarinet and sax) and double reeds (oboe and bassoon).
The family of instruments that uses single or double reeds includes woodwinds such as the clarinet and saxophone (which use single reeds) and the oboe and bassoon (which use double reeds). These instruments produce sound when air is blown through the reeds, causing them to vibrate. The choice of reed type affects the instrument's timbre and playing technique.
A single reed instruments makes noise by vibrating the reed against the mouthpiece, a double reed instruments makes its noice by 2 reeds vibrating together. Happy Playing! musictheory1@hotmail.com
single reed and double reed
The different types of reeds used in musical instruments include single reeds, double reeds, and free reeds. Single reeds are used in instruments like clarinets and saxophones, double reeds are used in instruments like oboes and bassoons, and free reeds are used in instruments like harmonicas and accordions.
There are three main categories: single-reeds, double-reeds, and flutes.
A single reed is one piece of wood (normally bamboo) that needs something to vibrate against to create sound. A clarinet or saxophone are single reed instruments, and they both have a mouthpiece, single reed, and ligature to hold the reed against the mouthpiece so it can vibrate. A double reed is two reeds that are like a sandwich and they vibrate against each other, so they don't need a mouthpiece or ligature. An oboe or bassoon use double reeds, and double reeds are harder to blow on than single reeds.
Assuming you're referring to woodwinds, not organ patches... You have single reeds and double reeds. Singles are used by saxaphone players and Clarinet players. Double reeds are used by Oboe players and bassoon players. Sources: I'm with the band.
