Contras Sax
Along with every clarinet, the bass clarinet is a single reed instrument.
The contrabassoon is related to the bassoon, but is lower in the clef and is the lowest instrument in the band.
I think you are referring to the Bb clarinet which is single but there are acually 3 different types of clarinets. Bb=single Oboe=double Alto=single
No, it's not :) Reed instuments are instruments that you use a piece of wood (a 'reed') on the mouthpiece. You don't put an organ on your mouth, so therfore it isn't a reed instrument. Examples of a reed instrument are; saxophones, clarinet and bass clarinet.
All reed instruments are part of the woodwind instrument family, but there are some other woodwinds also that are not reed instruments - mainly the flute.

Accordion
The largest reed instrument in an orchestra is the contrabassoon. It is a larger version of the bassoon and plays an octave lower, producing deep, rich tones. The contrabassoon is typically used to provide a bass foundation in orchestral music and can also be featured in solo passages. Its unique sound adds depth and texture to the overall orchestral sound.
