Ewa, I had never heard of a xaphoon, so I looked it up and then proceeded to look up double reed instruments and it listed the bassoon as a double reed. I'm not sure what your daughter was doing.

Bonehead, double reed instruments are woodwinds which include oboe, English horn and bassoon. The two reeds are glued together and are not connected to a mouthpiece. Single reed instruments are connected to a mouthpiece like clarinets and the saxophone family of woodwinds.

Wendy, when I played the oboe, the two reeds were not glued together, but were simply clamped together. Of course, this was 50 years ago, so my memory may well be out-of-date.
