There are dozens of reed instruments!

Answer:

Common single reed instruments include the Clarinet family and Saxophone family instruments. There are about a dozen different types of clarinets and the same is true for saxophones. There are also different kinds of each coming from all parts of the world, like the Spanish albogue, which is a kind of clarinet. All together, there are many, many single reed instruments.

There is a surprisingly large variety of double reed instruments. The most common are oboe family, the two types of bassoons, and the Bagpipes. What makes some double reed instruments different is that their reeds are not exposed like we are used to seeing; these are called capped reeds. Perhaps the most uncommon of all reed instruments are the very small number of triple and quadruple reed instruments, like the Shehnai from India and hne from Burma.

Listing all the different reed instruments would be tedious work, so I put a link in for you.
