singlet (<ph>"sINglIt</ph>). Also dial. senglet, cinglet.
[f. single a. + -et1, after doublet.]

OED, via Lon Sherer


In music, it's worth noting that terms like double bass and double bassoon used to have their single equivalents. Praetorius says that the English term for the Dulcian was "single curtal." He mangles the spelling, but it's clear enough what he's saying.
