The body of the instrument is made of brass. That's the big, shiny part :D Despite this, however, the Saxophone is categorized as a woodwind rather than a brass instrument, because the style of the mouthpiece fits into the woodwind category.

The mouthpiece may be made of rubber, plastic, or metal. The reed is made of bamboo.
