Someone who plays the clarinet and the oboe is called a musician. If you want to be specific about they are called a clarinetist or an oboist. Someone who plays the French horn is called a French hornist but to be politically correct they are called a hornist. For the flute they would be called a flautist or flutist since nowadays both are just as acceptable
