The Oboe is known as a double reeded instrument but this is a red herring as the SINGLE reed is made from one piece of cane folded over. The oboe makes a sound my air causing the two reed sides to vibrate against one another. This is different from a single reeded instrument like a Clarinet where the reeed vibrates against the mouthpiece.
