The term double clarinet refers to any of several woodwind instruments consisting of two parallel pipes made of cane, bird bone, or metal, played simultaneously, with a single reed for each.

Double clarinets are found primarily in Middle Eastern music, but also in India;[1] there are different versions and names in different countries.

The double clarinet in Syria, western Iraq, Lebanon, northern Israel, and Jordan is called a mijwiz.

[2] In Italy, the Sicilian zampogna bagpipe, also called a ciaramedda, is additionally referred to as a "doppio clarinetto" (double clarinet), because of its two equal length single reed chanters.
