The term "woodwind" originally referred to instruments made of wood that produced sound by the vibration of air, typically through a reed or by splitting air across an opening. While many modern woodwinds are made from materials like metal or plastic, the name has persisted due to historical conventions. These instruments include clarinets, oboes, and flutes, which often have complex mechanisms for sound production. The classification highlights their unique method of sound generation compared to brass and string instruments.
