Woodwind instruments are primarily made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and synthetic composites. Traditional woodwinds like clarinets and oboes are often crafted from specific types of wood, such as grenadilla or rosewood. In contrast, instruments like flutes and saxophones are typically made from metals like silver or brass. Additionally, some modern woodwinds incorporate synthetic materials for durability and consistency.
