A single-reed instrument is a woodwind instrument that uses only one reed to produce sound. Examples include saxophones, the clarinet and some bagpipes. In a single-reed instrument the reed is attached to a mouthpiece that is blown on to vibrate the reed, producing the sound. By contrast, in a double reed instrument there is no mouthpiece, and the two parts of the reed against one another. Examples include the oboe and the bassoon.
The following is a list of clarinets and saxophones, relative to their range and comparable equivalent from the opposite family:
