In woodwind instruments, sound is produced by the vibration of a reed or the air column within the instrument. In single-reed instruments like the Clarinet, a single reed vibrates against a mouthpiece. In double-reed instruments like the Oboe, two reeds vibrate against each other. For instruments like the Flute, sound is generated by the player's air stream splitting at the edge of the embouchure hole, creating vibrations in the air column inside.

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?

One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.

Does anything that vibrates make a sound?

No, not necessarily. In order for something that vibrates to make a sound, the vibrations need to create pressure waves in a medium, such as air, that can be detected by our ears. If the vibrations do not create these pressure waves, then no sound will be produced.


What are the different types of blowing instruments and how do they produce sound?

There are three main types of blowing instruments: brass, woodwind, and free reed. Brass instruments, like trumpets and trombones, produce sound by vibrating the player's lips against a mouthpiece. Woodwind instruments, such as flutes and clarinets, create sound by blowing air across a reed or through a mouthpiece. Free reed instruments, like harmonicas and accordions, make sound by air passing through a reed that vibrates.
