You will find plenty theatre pit musicians playing well, and professionally, doubling on several instruments, particularly woodwind and sax.

They may not be the world's best on any one instrument, but they sure can impress at least 99.9% of the audience. Doubling on sax and clarinet is pretty well a necessary standard in pit work.

The flute/piccolo embouchure is perhaps the most sensitive to doubling. There is nothing much wrong with James Galway's playing. Quote from Sir James, 2002, "I play the French horn and saxophone (real bad on both) and it has not affected my embouchure at all. In fact, playing the French horn actually improved it. I became more aware of the changes which are necessary on the flute.....My brother plays the flute, Clarinet and Sax and I think he is great on the flute."
