In a standard orchestra, there are four groups: flutes, oboes, clarinets & bassoons. Each group has alternate instruments the players are sometimes called upon to play. Flute players also use piccolo and alto flute. Clarinet players also play e-flat clarinet and bass clarinet. Oboe players are required to play English horn as well. And bassoon players can double up on contrabassoon. Occasionally a piece will call for a saxophone or two- many flute and clarinet players are able to play sax, though sometimes a saxophonist is called in.
Usually eight players, with two each on flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon.

The clarinet is helpful to the symphony orchestra because it provides a well-blending instrument that is strong in its many ranges, contrary to the oboe that has a very distinctive sound and a smaller range. The clarinet is also helpful to players that play in groups, be it symphony orchestra or band, because it is easier to learn than others. It is also a good bridge to doubling instruments, such as the Bass Clarinet or Contrabass Clarinet, allowing a director to be able to strengthen a certain section by using a clarinet player, ie A band has a strong clarinet section, but no low woodwind/brass section. The director could easily ask one of the top clarinet players to double on Bass Clarinet without worrying about the player needing too much instruction as it is very similar to the clarinet.
