The term "double bassoon" refers to the deep-bass of the bassoon family, also called the Contrabassoon. The oboe is the highest of the double-reed instruments in the orchestra, while the contrabassoon is the very lowest double-reed in the orchestra.

So the double bassoon is very much lower in pitch than the oboe.

Instrument reed is a thin strip of material, that vibrates to produce a sound on ainstrument Instruments that require reeds are woodwind and sax. So basically without the reed you cannot make any noise on woodwind and sax instrument's woodwind instruments alto sax, tenor sax Clarinet Fact Saxophones are in the woodwind family .

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.

Practice. More experience, the better sound. Also, the mouthpiece makes a big difference to the sound. The mouthpiece that comes with the saxophone tends to (not always) be a beginner one, that is easy to use but is unable to hit the low and high notes. Whereas if you got a more professional mouthpiece, after you get used to it, it sounds much nicer and is easier to play. Another thing, by learning techniques like vibrato or 'growling', makes great effects when performing and recording. To do vibrato, move your jaw (fast) up and down ever so slightly when playing a long note; this makes it sound sort of echoey and like the sound is vibrating, hence the name 'vibrato'. To growl, make a humming noise whilst playing a note, and it makes an intense gnarly sound. Though it is quite tricky to do, so don't be put off if you can't do it after a few tries ;)

Remember though, saxophones that are on CDs are edited in sound. They put on echo effects and pitch corrector so it sounds perfect, which is extremely difficult to do playing live. So use recorded saxophones as a reference, but don't get upset if you don't sound exactly like it ;)

Cor anglais, or the English horn, is a double-reed instrument. It's a larger version of the oboe.
