A wind instrument is a musical instrument that must be blown into to make a sound. They fall in these categories:

  • Brass (Ex. trumpets, tubas, trombones)
  • Woodwind (Ex. flutes, saxophones, clarinets)

Brass instruments are usually made of metal (commonly-you guessed it-brass) and are played by 'buzzing' your lips into a mouthpiece to produce a sound.

Woodwind instruments are sometimes not metal. Most have a reed (excluding some like flutes), which is a wood piece that 'buzzes' when you blow over it to produce a sound.

Not a very clearly-worded question, but since the category is Musical Instruments then I take it you are asking which are wind instruments. They are or include:

Woodwind (flute, clarinet, oboe, recorder, bassoon, Pan-pipes, Bagpipes)

Brass (cornet, Trumpet, Cor Anglais, French horn, tuba, Sousaphone (sp?), saxophone, piccolo)

Organ (pipe, both keyboard as in churches and cinemas, and card-reading as in 19C fairground and dance-hall organs)

Aeolian Harp (a hybrid of string and wind: it's a sounding-board or box carrying strings set into vibration by the wind to which it is exposed - you can't play tunes on it.)
