	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		Although brass instruments were originally made of brass and woodwind instruments have traditionally been made of wood, the material used to make the body of the instrument is not always a reliable guide to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.
		On the other hand, the cornett (not to be confused with the brass instrument cornet) and serpent, although made of wood (or PVC pipe in the case of modern serpents), are in the family of brass instruments because the vibration which originates the sound is done with the lips of the player.

	Wind Instruments: Some Basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The brass and woodwind sections of the orchestra - all the instruments that one blows into to produce a sound - are called the wind instruments, or winds.
		In most wind instruments, the air is blown into the instrument at or near one end of the tube and exits at the other end.
		Most wind instruments are vaguely tube-shaped, because a long, thin column of air is a good place to set up a standing waves of air.

		Other wind instruments are blown by the player and are divided into two groups, the woodwinds and the brass winds, or brasses.
		The brass winds include the bugle, cornet, ophicleide, trombone, trumpet, and tuba, all having cup-shaped mouthpieces, and the French horn, having a funnel-shaped mouthpiece.
		The wind passage of a wind instrument is called the bore and may be conical or cylindrical; its flared edge is called the bell.

		Idiophones are instruments whose own substance vibrates to produce sound (as opposed to the strings of a guitar or the air column of a flute); examples include bells, clappers, and rattles.
		According to the standard method of instrument classification introduced in the early 20th century, all wind instruments (that is, all instruments in which air is the primary vibrating medium for the production of sound) are called aerophones.

		A "wind controller" is a hybrid instrument that is "played" like a traditional musical wind instrument, i.e., it is blown and fingered like a brass or woodwind instrument.
		Wind control of synthesizers allows musical phrasing and articulation similar to what is obtained with acoustic wind instruments.
		Two different custom-designed wind controllers are described on these pages -- an all-analog design for use with modular analog synthesizers and a MIDI controller for use with various commercial synthesizers and sound modules.

	The bear orchestra - What is a wind instrument
		A wind instrument produces its sound when the musician, using their breath causes a column of air to vibrate inside the instrument.
		They are different because of the way the musician blows into the instrument as well as the material they are made of.
		The sound of a woodwind is produced by blowing across a hole in the instrument, such as a flute or making a reed vibrate in instruments like the clarinet and oboe.

	How Do Woodwind Instruments Work? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In woodwind instruments, the effective length is changed by opening and closing finger- holes or keyholes along the side.
		Reed instruments are different: the end in the player's mouth is not open to the outside air, so the air is not maximally free to move in and out.
		Attached to the instrument, they are (usually!) forced to vibrate at the natural frequency of the air in the tube.

		The basic sensor inputs on the instrument are a breath pressure sensor, a pitch bend (bite) sensor, and the keys.
		The overall loudness of a wind note is NOT determined by some bonk or other event right at the beginning; it's determined continuously by your changing breath control through the whole duration of the note.
		It is possible to keep using the Velocity value in wind patches to control the strength of the initial "chiff" of tonguing (rather than the overall loudness of a note).

	Harris expands wind-instrument program with new ensemble - MIT News Office
		Formerly an instrumental music director in the Belmont (MA) public schools, Dr. Harris is a strong advocate for music education; on November 6 he hosted, at MIT, a first-of-its-kind meeting of leaders of collegiate music education programs in Massachusetts to discuss the preparation of future music teachers.
		The Wind Ensemble is about half that size and performs music for a more varied instrumentation ranging from octets to full wind ensemble with usually one person per part.
		I felt the term "wind symphony" more accurately reflects the "symphonic" nature of the ensemble due to its size and its repertoire: original music composed for a large body of wind and percussion instruments and/or choirs of woodwind, brass and percussion instruments.
