	Woodwind instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A woodwind instrument is a wind instrument in which sound is produced by blowing through a mouthpiece against an edge or by a vibrating reed, and in which the pitch is varied by opening or closing holes in the body of the instrument.
		Single-reed instruments use a reed, which is a thinly sliced piece of cane or plastic that is held against the aperture of the mouthpiece with a ligature.
		Flute woodwind instruments where the sound is produced by blowing against an edge.

	Baroque Music - Woodwind
		From medieval times two methods of producing sound were used: (a) blowing across a round mouth-hole as on the panpipes or transverse (side-blown) flute; (b) blowing into a whistle mouthpiece (end-blown) as on the recorder or flageolet.
		It is the lowest-pitched instrument in the orchestra.
		The instrument has been widely revived in the 20th century both as an easy instrument for children and as a part of the revival in performing early music on authentic instruments.

	Polymers in Woodwind Instruments
		Yeah, it is made of brass but it is a woodwind instrument because the sound is generated by the vibration of a reed, which is placed in a plastic or rubber mouthpiece just like on a clarinet.
		In woodwinds the moisture is more like "lung juice." When the inside surface of an instrument is cooler than the warm moist breath moving through it, the moisture in the breath condenses into liquid which builds up inside the instrument.
		The larger instruments have plastic or metal keys and pads to cover the holes, which are too far apart to cover with the fingers.

	Brass instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A brass instrument is a musical instrument whose tone is produced by vibration of the lips as the player blows into a tubular resonator (mouthpiece).
		Keyed or Fingered brass instruments used holes along the body of the instrument, which were covered by fingers or by finger-operated pads (keys) in a similar way to a woodwind instrument.
		Different shapes, sizes and styles of mouthpiece may be used to suit different embouchures, or to more easily produce certain tonal characteristics.

	ASW Guide to Historical Brass Instruments
		Instruments of the cornett family are in fact hybrids of woodwind and brass instruments, having the toneholes and fingering system of woodwind instruments but the cup mouthpiece of brasswind instruments.
		Their tone quality, therefore, is a unique blend of woodwind and brasswind properties, very pure and lacking in overtones; it was considered to be the instrument which sounded most like the human voice.
		The history of brass instruments prior to the sixteenth century is largely a matter of conjecture; it is clear that trumpets have existed since ancient times and that trumpets and some primitive slide trumpets, the predecessors of the trombone family, were used during the late middle ages.

	Saxophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The saxophone or sax is a conical-bored instrument of the woodwind family, usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece like the clarinet.
		However, this cannot be so, as the modern tarogato with a single reed mouthpiece was not developed until the 1890s, long after the saxophone had been invented.
		The inspiration for the instrument is unknown, but there is good evidence that fitting a clarinet mouthpiece to an ophicleide is the most likely origin (doing so results in a definitely saxophone-like sound).

	HyperMusic -- Musical Instruments: Saxophone
		The saxophone was invented to be a bridge between the woodwind and brass sections, and to boost the sound of the woodwind section in military bands.
		However, the saxophone is classified as a member of the woodwind family because of its flute-like key system and the use of a reed.
		Like the clarinet, the saxophone has a mouthpiece and a single reed.

	Wind instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wind instrument is a musical instrument that contains some type of resonator (usually a tube), in which a column of air is set into vibration by the player blowing into (or over) a mouthpiece set at the end of the resonator.
		Although brass instruments were originally made of brass and woodwind instruments have traditionally been made of wood, the material used to make the body of the instrument is not always a reliable guide to its family type.
		For example, the saxophone is typically made of brass but is classified as a woodwind instrument due to the fact that it has a reed.

	Brass Instruments
		Brass instrument air columns are typically constructed of a short conical section (the mouthpiece pipe), a long cylindrical section, and a flaring end.
