∙ 11y agoIf you are talking about the traditional orchestral nomenclature, then the Woodwind Section is comprised of 4 woodwind families: the flute family, the oboe family, the clarinet family and the bassoon family. Each of these families will, in turn have different members; some popular and well known and some that are rare. The usual members (in a large orchestra are):
Flutes: piccolo, flute, alto flute, bass flute,
Oboes: oboe, English horn,
Clarinets: clarinets in Eb, Bb and A (sometimes C), alto clar. in Eb, Bass Clarinet (Bb), and Contrabass clarinets (Eb and Bbb),
Bassoons: bassoon and contrabassoon.
The Woodwinds as a general group could include many other instrument such as the saxophones (also considered a hybrid-brass inst.) and many ethnic instruments.
