Best Answer

There are two families of wind instruments, woodwinds and brass.

The flute is a member of the woodwind family though it's constructed of metal. The other woodwind family members are oboe, Clarinet and bassoon (and their variants). The flute is the only member of the woodwind family that's played without a reed.

The other wind instrument family is the "brass" family; Trumpet, Trombone, French horn, tuba.
