I was a proficient flute player when I started doubling on clarinet and sax.

Apart from tonguing being more challenging on a clarinet, I think I disagree with pretty well everything EEBaum wrote.

(Of course 'the break' is a fingering challenge difficult to match on the flute.)

There are many flute players who become capable doublers on clarinet (and sax), but it seems to be seldom that a clarinetist masters the flute well.

By 'masters well' I simply mean the basics of getting good control of tone, volume and pitch in the flutes's third octave.

BTW the top notes on flute involve far more complex finger changes than the high notes on a calrinet.
