A woodwind instrument often features a sliver of wood held in the mouthpiece that vibrates when air passes over it to create a sound.... Saxophone, Oboe (2 reeds), Clarinet.

Instruments that don't use reeds include flutes, horns, trumpets, trombones, etc... instead their sound is created by vibrating the lips against the mouthpiece.
