Double-reed 16edt instruments have also been made, providing a Western analogue of the Chinese guanzi. They are called nielsenphones after Christoffel Nielsen and they use both Boehm/Klosé systems. I will not mention oboes, bassoons, and saxophones here because their histories were similar except for the fact that they are tuned in 10edo.

The same fingering systems are used for the oboe, bassoon, and saxophone (the two ~~Triebert~~ systems), as well as for the clarinet and nielsenphone (the two Boehm-Klosé systems).

The same fingering systems are used for the flute, oboe, bassoon, and saxophone (the two Boehm systems), as well as for the clarinet and nielsenphone (the two Boehm-Klosé systems).

The transposition system for these instruments is messy compared to that of the string instruments. To start, most flutes, oboes, bassoons, saxophones, orchestral clarinets and orchestral nielsenphones follow the system where every member of the family is always a 10edo fifth (5\10) apart. However, the pure clarinets and pure nielsenphones are all a 16edt eighth (8\16<3/1> or sqrt(3)) apart, causing both transposition systems to have separate names for each register. That does not take into account the two "English" and "German" style key systems, which make classification of orchestral woodwind instruments in Earth#10 much more complicated than in our world.
