Woodwind instruments are typically classified into two main groups:
* Single-reed instruments have a single reed that is attached to the mouthpiece. Examples of single-reed instruments include the clarinet, saxophone, and bass clarinet.
* Double-reed instruments have two reeds that are attached to the mouthpiece. Examples of double-reed instruments include the oboe, bassoon, and English horn.
Woodwind instruments are commonly made from wood, but some are made from other materials, such as metal or plastic. They vary in size and shape, and they each have their own unique sound.
Some common characteristics of woodwind instruments include:
* They produce sound when a musician blows air across a mouthpiece.
* The air travels through the instrument, causing vibrations in the reed or fipple, which can produce sound.
* The sound's pitch is controlled by the length of the instrument's tube and the size and shape of its finger holes.
* Woodwind instruments are commonly classified into two main groups: single-reed instruments and double-reed instruments.
