 The Doublers BBoard

I don't know how many people check these doubling boards. I bet more of my friends from the Oboe and Clarinet boards with come in here, but if there are any true doublers here, here it goes. Of course anyone else is welcome to post as well:
I am on the long hard journey of playing virtually every woodwind instrument ever invented (within usable means of course). Basically, this extends from the usual woodwind doubler instruments and then to folk instruments. In general I will leave out most early instruments (that being said, I just picked up recorder), as they don't seem to be prominent in the circle of musicals. Folk instruments however seem to be becoming more present, and I hope this is a way to get a foot in the door in an ever more difficult career field.
So here's a few lists of my progress as of today:
Instruments owned currently:
Burkart Piccolo
Miyazawa Flute
Buffet Clarinet
Loree Oboe
Yamaha Alto Sax
Buckingham Music Bansuri (Key of D, Sa G)
Mollenhauer Grenadilla Soprano Recorder
Other normal instruments I will eventually play:
Alto Flute
Eb Clarinet
Bass Clarinet
Soprano Sax
Tenor Sax
English Horn
Other ethnic instruments I have an interest in:
Tin Whistle (I will own one very soon. Michael Burke make)
Pan Flute
Native American Flute
Ocarina
Dizi
Xiao
Pungi
Anyone else doing the same? Comments?

Currently own and play:
piccolo
flute
alto flute
Eb clarinet
Bb clarinet
A clarinet
bass clarinet (low C)
EEb contrabass clarinet
sopranino sax
soprano sax
alto sax
C melody sax
tenor sax
bari sax
bass sax
oboe
bassoon
recorders - sopranino down to bass
pennywhistles in F, Eb, D, C, Bb, low D
Don't put all your money into a high end D whistle. In shows you'll need a selection of keys with a consistent tone quality between them. Susato Kildare whistles are the way to go. Great sound, and available in a huge array keys.
Recorders - make sure you learn F fingering instruments as well as C. Soprano gets you tenor, but you'll need to learn alto recorder. Alto is the dominant solo voice in a lot of serious recorder rep. Bass recorder uses the F fingerings, but is played in bass clef, so there's that to tackle as well.
Bass flute - I usually just rent one for recording sessions. That seems to be the only time they get called for.

I don't know that my daughter will be a doubler in the future, as she seems to be headed towards studying orchestral oboe, but she's performed in a dozen musicals and plays/owns the following:
Loree Oboe, plus an intermediate model
Loree English horn
Buffet Bb Clarinet
Bundy Eb clarinet
Yamaha Alto Sax, plus a Bundy
Yanigasawa soprano sax, plus a Hunter
Roberto's Woodwinds Baritone Sax
Fox bassoon
She has access to and can somewhat play my flutes:
Mirumatsu flute
Gemeinhardt piccolo
soprano recorder
Alto recorder
pan flute
various penny whistles
And at school she loves to borrow and play their:
EEb contrabass clarinet
bass clarinet
guitars, cello
trumpets
tenor sax
But for doubling she almost always get called to play the oboe book or part.

@Drew: No baritone sax or bassoon?
@Merlin: No english horn or contrabassoon?
I'm envious of people who can afford, and play reasonably well, that many different instruments. I can barely handle clarinet, bass clarinet, and the four main saxophones.

Davyd,
I have pondered the Bari/Bassoon situation. I will try to arrange a lesson with some professionals in NYC and see if there's a need. If so, I will play them. I love the sound of the bassoon, my favorite instrument. They are quite expensive however, and I'm used to play the Reeds 1 to 3 books in theatre.
I'm finally getting to the point where all the instruments help each other, and don't hurt each other when playing. I probably don't have a traditional clarinet tone, as I play with a looser embouchure than I assume most. I still try to make it as focused and deep as possible. There would be no way to switch to flute or oboe if I had a tight clarinet embouchure.

I play EH on sessions when called; I'm able to rent.
I can play contra, but it's so damn costly to get one!

I own:
-Recorders(sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor)
-Penny whistles in C and D
-Fifes in Bb and C
-Piccolo, flute, alto flute
-Oboe
-Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet, bass clarinet
-Soprano/alto/tenor/baritone saxophones
I also plan on upgrading my piccolo at some point in the future, and adding bass flute to my arsenal. I can play English horn and bassoon, but don't find any need for them, as most of my show gigs are for flutes, clarinets, and saxophones. Plus, with being a college student, I have school bills and whatnot, so getting myself a bass flute probably won't be in the cards for a while =/
-Mike
Recorders(SSAT), piccolo/flute/alto flute, oboe, clarinets(Eb/Bb/bass), saxophones(SATB)

I just wanted to confirm that the Kildare Tin Whistles are an excellent suggestion. I just purchased a high D in case it didn't live up to expectations. Overwhelmingly excelled in tone, intonation, and feel. I cannot wait to get the low D!
Thanks Merlin!

Chris,
Guo has a new G treble flute out - all plastic! Looks pretty cool. Haven't tried that, but I did try their plastic bass flute. Played pretty well.

Hello everyone
A list of my instruments accumulated over 60+ years of playing and collecting.
Piccolo - Buescher
3 flutes - 2 Pearl and Ubel
Alto flute - no maker's name but plays well
3 Oboes - 2 Marigaux and Kreul
Oboe d'amore - Lorée
2 Cor Anglais - Oehler & Ward & Winterbourne
Oboe d'Caccia old but still works for Baroque
Baroque oboe - Moek
Eb Clarinet - Corton
Pairs Clarinets - Würlitzer (Oehler) & Albert (Albert)
Clarinet - Selmer
Alto Clarinet - Bundy
Bass Clarinet - Selmer - low C
Bassoon - Hüller
Contrabassoon - Amati
Sopranino sax - Yanigasawa
2 Soprano sax - Yanigasawa & Buescher
2 Alto sax - Yanigasawa & Selmer
2 Tenor sax - Yanigasawa
Baritone sax - Selmer
Assorted recorders and Whistles.
Possible wishes would be Bass sax and Bass oboe. But realistically the repertoire is very limited for these instruments.
I play regularly in orchestras. But used to play in wind bands, shows and sax quartets, hence the variety of instruments. I also still give lecture recitals to music societies etc
I have haunted second hand and junk shops for years and have found many interesting bargains.
I'll keep playing and collecting, a fascinating hobby.
Leigh

Drew, I'm curious about your statement to play "every woodwind instrument ever invented." Does this include all non-western instruments, too? I'm sure if you look world-wide, you'll find a bazillion types of woodwinds that most of us have never heard of.

I own:
Piccolo, flute, recorder
Eb, A, Bb, C, and bass clarinets
Soprano, alto, and tenor saxes
English horn, oboe, and bassoon
I also double on brass, and own:
French horn, trumpet, cornet, military bugle, trombone
For fooling around with, I have a guitar, piano, violin, and theremin.
My horns are intermediate to pro level. I do want to get a better French horn, however, as well as a bari sax! I'm also working on my snare drum chops, but use a practice pad. Eventually I'd love to get a good snare.

There are a lot of world woodwind instruments, especially flute types. I have interest in playing them all, god willing. I've found there are many similar instruments, of which I would choose my favorite sounding of the set (say, transverse 6 hole diatonic flute, lots of them available, will stick with the Bansuri). It's quite a process.
I also have interest in making my own flutes. I have a camping trip in 2 months, and I hope to have made a fipple and native american style flute before this time. At this points I will work with PVC.

I'm a pianist... but I don't like the piano, so I spend the rest of my time on everything else:
Flute (2 owned, poor cond.)
Bassoon (1 owned)
Alto sax (1 owned)
Eb clarinet (university)
Bb clarinet (2 owned)
Eb alto (2 owned)
Bb bass (1 owned, but I prefer university's Selmer 67)
EEb contra (univ. owns 6...)
BBb contra (univ.)
Bb trumpet (2 owned)
Conn 16E mellophonium (3 owned... don't ask)
Trombone (old old old King. It's brown. Actually brown.)
BBb tuba (3/4 size only, but it does what I need)
SSAT recorders (owned)
- advice, if you're in the market for a recorder and you don't want to spend a lot of money, Aulos has fantastic plastic instruments in their 500 and 700 series. They project well, play well in tune, and are easy to control and have an authentic, complex sound. Except their bass recorder sucks, so get a Yamaha.
I also have a guitar and a violin laying around, but they don't see much use. I've been sticking with the viola lately - less competition. =]

While I have many woodwind instruments, the most unusual I have are the following:
Conn bass saxophone to high F
Harwood/Buescher bass saxophone
Isadore Lot wooden conical bore flute Boehm open rings
Emerson Bb metal flute
Emerson Eb metal flute
Laubin oboe
Buffet oboe and English horn simple system pair
Japanese Musical Instrument Company (Yamaha originator) full Boehm Eb clarinet with donut key
Buffet full Boehm Bb and A one piece clarinet set
Selmer F basset horn
Conn gold plated C melody saxophone
Knight Wagner tuba double Bb/F, played each year in the Los Angeles Tuba Christmas event
While these are great instruments and I have some other usual ones, a concern that I have as I get older is what will be done with them when I have gone.

I have spent a good part of a 40+ year professional career doubling, although alto/tenor saxes and bassoon are my main instruments. By doubling I mean professional theatre mainly playing reeds 1 or 2; or 4 and 5. I have enough horns to handle most, and can beg, or borrow, for anything else. Outside of theatre, lead alto, lead tenor, and baritone, doubling clarinet, and flute. My own small group gigs are usually alto/tenor, and either flute, or clarinet. You have to know how to practise, what tactics work; you also need to have some idea of your limitations. This might apply to working out how to make something work better, and more reliably; or pulling your head out of your arse, and not letting your ego get in the way of your ability (we have all done this at some stage). The real art to theatre work is getting the consistency that's needed to be able to play the same show 8 times a week, without anyone noticing if you make a mistake, for months at a time; and being able to dep for someone reliably.
Current inventory includes, and is not limited to.
Saxes
Soprano Yamaha 475, which I can make work, and fool most people. I also have a 1925 Conn, which doesn't even fool me!
Alto Main horn is Selmer Mark VII, back up Buescher 400
Tenor Selmer Mark VII
Baritone 1964 Conn
C Melody Pan American 1931
Clarinets
Bbs main horn very old Yamaha 20 key Oehler, back up Custom Yamaha 24 key Oehler
Eb Richard Keilwerth
Bass F. Arthur Uebel low C Oehler system
I have others, and I seldom play A clarinet, because in that sort of music, opera mainly, I play bassoon.
Bassoon
Moosman Orchestra Model
Flute
De Zhou silver C foot
Martin Freres wooden concert flute
Yamaha 62 piccolo ( I would advise doublers to get the one with the lip-plate riser.
As I said, I have more instruments.

I'm about halfway there with instruments I own and wish to own. Now comes the expensive stuff...
Stuff I own:
YPC-62 Piccolo
YFL-674 C Flute

And surely more... hopefully an actual piano at some point rather than a keyboard. Gear Acquisition Syndrome is real nowadays.
