Saxophones are (mostly) brass, but they're still considered "woodwind" instruments.
The saxophone is actually a member of the woodwind family because it produces sound through a reed vibrating against the mouthpiece, similar to other woodwind instruments like the clarinet. While it is made of brass, its classification is based on its method of sound production rather than its material.
Brass itself is not an element, but it is made of two metallic elements (copper and zinc). Brass is an 'alloy', a combination of two metals.
The solvent used for cleaning an instrument made of 80 percent brass and 20 percent zinc would typically be water-based solutions or mild soaps. These solvents are gentle enough to clean the instrument without damaging the brass or zinc surfaces. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that can tarnish or corrode the metal.

Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, it is used mostly for creating musical instruments such as trumpets this is because of its ability to bend and stretch easily to create the complex shape of the instrument
All saxaphones are made of brass but are woodwind
sax
The saxophone. While the instrument itself is commonly made of brass, the mechanics of it, as well as the use of a reed, make it a woodwind.
The saxophone is a woodwind instrument Though it looks like brass, people always mistake it for brass instrument, but it is a woodwind. It does not have valves like the brass instruments, but has reed and finger holes covered by small pads. Some like to call it brasswind.
The cornet is a brass instrument. The bassoon, which is made of wood, is a woodwind.
The saxophone.
no because origanilly a flute was made out of WOOD.......and also you use wind to play it so that is why a flute is NOT a brass instrument but a woodwind
An oboe is a woodwind instrument because an oboe reed is made of wood.
Adolph Sax wanted to create an instrument with the felixibility of a woodwind and the power or loudness of a brass, so he made a brass instrument with reed and keys. He actually started w/ a clarinet mouthpiece on a Euphonium
No, though it is made of brass, it is widely considered woodwind because it uses a reed mouthpiece.
Rule of thumb: Brass instruments look like they're made of brass. Think Trumpet or trombone, the exception being saxophone, which is a woodwind instrument. An oboe is also a woodwind instrument.
Yes! The flute is part of the woodwind instrument family.In the Renaissance Period, flutes actually had a small reed in them (much like an oboe reed). This is why they were originally classified as a woodwind instrument, and it has stuck since.Yes a flute is a woodwind, even if it is made of metal.
