Why do saxophones have reeds?
Saxophones have reeds because they are woodwind instruments that produce sound through the vibration of a reed, which is a thin strip of material (usually cane) attached to the mouthpiece. When the player blows air into the mouthpiece, the reed vibrates, creating sound waves. This mechanism allows for a wide range of expressive tones and dynamics, making the saxophone versatile in various musical genres. The reed's flexibility is crucial for controlling pitch and volume.
How are the saxophones notes produced?
The reed vibrates when the Musician blows into the mouthpiece. These vibrations resonate down the sax & come out the closest hole to the top.

No. It was always brass or a similar metal, although it wouldn't surprise me if somebody tried to make a reed out of wood.
