<<<...in order to play flute with a good sound, one usually needs to
warm up 10 minutes or more anyway (if I play clarinet before hand, I
need 20 minutes or more>>>

As a doubler, there are many occasions when you just don't have time for
any warm-up at all. Sometimes you may have a matter of a couple of
measures or just a few seconds to put one instrument down and grab
another. That's why you may see a person playing a flute or clarinet
with a saxophone still suspended on the strap, or stuck under the arm.

That's one of the challenges, and one of the things that makes it both
fun and frustrating at the same time.
