Content: It used many woodwind instruments including bassoons, E-flat clarinets, B-flat clarinets, bass clarinet, cor anglais, contrabassoon, flutes, oboes, and piccolos. These instruments are called woodwind due to the raw material from which they were made of, and that is wood. However, today’s instruments are made of a combination of different materials. Aside from wood, there are plastic and metal. The most common thing about these instruments is that they are some form of tube pipe with holes on both ends of the instrument: the mouthpiece and the closing hole at the other end. There are also holes in between them or caps to change tones and keys. Playing them would mean blowing air inside the tube pipe while tapping the holes in between by either closing or opening them to create musical sounds or notes. Two Kinds of Woodwind Instruments
The flutes and the reeds are the two kinds of woodwind instruments that differ in the way they produce sounds. A flute instrument produces sound through the air that vibrates inside the tube pipe while a reed instrument creates music by having the air vibrate through a reed, which is a thin wooden piece located near the mouthpiece inside the tube pipe.
