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.
