A woodwind is a musical instrument from which
sound is produced by blowing into a tube,
causing the air within to vibrate. Woodwind
instruments include those, like the flute,
originally made of wood but now more commonly
of metal. The saxophone, made of metal, is an
honorary woodwind because it is related to
the clarinet. The oboe, bassoon, flute, and
clarinet make up the normal woodwind section
of an orchestra.
