A woodwind doubler (or reed doubler) is a musician who can play two or more instruments from the six woodwind families (clarinets, saxophones, oboes, bassoons, flutes and recorders) or other folk or ethnic woodwind instruments (e.g. panflute, irish flute), and can play more than one instrument during a performance. A player who plays two instruments from the same family (e.g., oboe and English horn, clarinet and bass clarinet, flute and piccolo) is also often considered a woodwind doubler, but is usually paid less than a player who plays instruments from different families.
