What makes a woodwind a woodwind?

The sound is produced by blowing air against a hard surface. For example, clarinets, saxophones, oboes, and bassoons have reeds, typically made of wood, which vibrate and produce sound. Flutes and piccolos produce sound when air is blown across an edge. Woodwinds are different from brass instruments (such as trumpets, trombones, and tubas) which rely on the vibrations of a player's lips to produce sound. The definition has almost nothing to do with the materials "wood" or "brass," because some woodwinds are made of brass (like a saxophone) and some brass instruments are wooden (like an alphorn).
