What statement is true with regards to woodwind instruments?
A sound is produced in a wind instrument when a column of air vibrates inside a tube.A sound is produced when a column of air vibrates inside a tube.
What is the classification for an instrument that produces sound by the vibration of a column of air.?
An instrument which produces sound by the vibration of a column of air is called an aerophone. Examples are brass and woodwind instruments, as well as things like bull roarers.
What are the charatistics of the woodwind family?
A woodwind instrument is a Musical Instrument which produces sound when the player blows air against a sharp edge or through a reed, causing the air within its Resonator (usually a column of air) to vibrate. Most of these instruments are made of wood, but can be made of other materials, such as metals or plastics.
When the player blows into the instrument by using the reed what causes the column of air to produce sound?
the sound comes from the vibration of the air as it passes the reed. the pitch of the sound is changed by changing the length of the column (thus forcing the wavelength to become longer) by holding down more keys.
What instrument family does the flute belong to - why?
The flute belongs to the woodwind family. Flutes were, at one time, made of wood, and their sound is produced by wind going through them and forming a moving column of air.
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
What do wind instruments and wind instruments have in common in how they produce sound?
Wind instruments use air to create vibration which creates sound. Percussion instruments create sound through striking a Stretched membrane which produces sound or by the vibration of the instrument as a whole.
What does air column mean in musical terms?
Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
What type of tones do bass instruments produce?
The low-pitched range is the tone that describes types of tones brass instruments produce. Requiring a long air column or string usually, to produce low pitches, the largest instruments in their families or instrument classes are the string and wind bass instruments.

What vibrates in a gong to make a sound?
None. The column of air inside the instrument vibrates. Compare this to a string instrument -- the string vibrates, of course. With the reed instrument, such as a clarinet or bassoon -- the reed vibrates. The vibrating reed causes the column of air inside the instrument to vibrate. However, the brass instruments do not have vibrating parts. What makes the column of air vibrate is the buzzing of the player's lips!
