sax and oboe probably too, since they have the same fingerings. Bsn and horn are known for their ability to blend well. but so are clarinet and bsn. Clarinet and horn might just work, although you have to be aware that the lower chalmeau register ofthe clarinet blends less (at least in loud dynamic range).

this is about orchestration only or finding a performer of two different instruments ? in orchestration anything can merge, a Piccolo with Tuba for instance.. in Performers, finding a person who plays Clarinet and Saxophone is more common, but Bassoon and Saxophone won't be easy to find, Bassoon has nothing to do with Saxophone, I play Saxophones and Clarinet but I have no idea how to play a bassoon and I don't own a bassoon, if you call for a single player to play Bassoon and Sax, that will be a mistake in your score. I will name the only doubling could be used, without worries Clarinet / Saxophones Trombone / Euphonium Horn / Wagner Tuba & not so common but no problem: Tuba / Euphonium and of course, things like Piccolo/Flute, Oboe/Enlgish Horn, Bassoon/Contrabassoon.

I'm unable to add my 5 cents to this thread :thumbsup: .

Just watch their faces. If they turn purple or dizzy, it's enough.
