Doubling advice

Author: maestro_merlin

Hi,

I have been playing Clarinet for the last fifteen years or so, and I really enjoy it. I am interested in getting into woodwind doubling for theatre shows, and currently play all the clarinets (bar contra) and Tenor sax.

What instrument would I be advised to learn next - would I be better starting with Flute, or should I focus on Alto / Bari sax?

Is it essential to be able to play double reeds for this line of work?

Also, what would your advise be on instrument purchase? Of course, I need to own the instruments that I would be playing in the shows, but is it necessary to have top of the line instruments?

I currently own a Bb, A, C, Bass and an Eb, and am looking at purchasing a Tenor and a Flute.

Thanks!
