Flutes, and reed instruments
The single-reed and double-reed, that's if you're talking about woodwind instruments.
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.
A Ligature is a device for holding a single reed against the mouthpiece, so ligatures are found on single reed instruments. The two most common single-reed families of instruments are the Clarinets and the Saxophones.

The mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument is the part of the instrument which is placed partly in the player's mouth. Single-reed instruments have mouthpieces while exposed double-reed instruments and open flutes do not have mouthpieces. The oboe and the bassoon are two instruments that have a double reed.
Music for two musicians who play double reed instruments such as the clarinet. Edit: Clarinet is not a double reed instrument only the oboe and bassoon are double reeded instruments.
The clarinet and bassoon are members of the Woodwind family. These two instruments require the use of a reed to produce musical notes. Another member of the Woodwind family is the Oboe.
In woodwind instruments, sound is produced by the vibration of a reed or the air column within the instrument. In single-reed instruments like the clarinet, a single reed vibrates against a mouthpiece. In double-reed instruments like the oboe, two reeds vibrate against each other. For instruments like the flute, sound is generated by the player's air stream splitting at the edge of the embouchure hole, creating vibrations in the air column inside.
