Best Answer

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.
