Content: However, a woodwind may be made of any material. Common examples include brass, silver, cane, gold, and platinum. What’s more, woodwinds can be made out of earthen materials, especially ocarinas. The modern orchestra’s woodwind section typically includes flutes, clarinets, oboes, and bassoons. On the other hand, the piccolo, bass clarinet, and contrabassoon are usually supplementary woodwind instruments. The section may also be expanded with saxophones. The concert band’s woodwind section is typically bigger and more diverse than the orchestra’s. Flutes
Flutes produce sound by directing the air below the edge of a hole in a cylindrical tube. There are two main types: open flutes and closed flutes.
