Double-reed 16ed3 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 pretty much the same except for the fact that they are tuned in 10edo.

The transposition system for these instruments is ~~very~~ messy compared to 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 10edo eighth (8\10) apart, causing both transposition systems to have separate names. 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.

The soprano/high wind instruments of each type are written in concert pitch (in the treble clef) with the exceptions of the bassoon and the nielsenphone, where the contra-alto instruments of each type are written in concert pitch (in the bass clef).
