Best Answer

Woodwinds and brass instruments tend to directly vary the density / pressure of an air stream, with the instrument "flavoring" the sound with harmonics natural to the instrument. Stringed instruments, drums, cymbals, and electronic instruments typically cause vibration in the instrument body (or speakers), which in turn produces the sound waves.

It depends on what instrument it is used. Basically, it is caused by vibrations and moves in the form of longitudinal waves. E.g. - a Clarinet creates sounds by the vibration in its reed.
