How can you tell whether an instrument has a double or single reed?
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.

The reed is the wooden piece that's used to create a sound on a woodwind instrument. Normally, only one reed is used, and it is held against a plastic piece at the top of the instrument. However, in double reed instruments, there are two reeds that are tied together. When you blow air between these reeds, they both vibrate, producing a timbre distinct to double reed instruments.
