No, No, No. Double the OBOE.
Trust me man, it's not because I play oboe, I play a good bit of clarinet and flute too. Bassoon might by fine if you don't mind those weird fingerings. But your tone and your embouchure (changes would have to be made obviously, mostly to your top lip) would afit very well on an oboe. Clarinet doesn't transfer well to much else, imho. However, I would not even think about putting sax on this list, because the saxophone isn't in orchestra, so it's not an instrument I would even consider spending my mouth on: there's a lot less available work on a highly competitive horn, which is a lot less like a horn and a whole lot like a toy in that the fingers are scaled disregard to ergonomics. It's like that with clarinet players as well. Orchestras have 3-4 sit in clarinets and then 5-6 on call. When they play Beethoven or Stravinsky it's like... "Ummm where in the hell do I find a 4th and 5th oboe?"
I think oboe would be your most user-friendly choice.
American Oboist. I currently play on a Rigoutat Riec. She is beautiful.
