What woodwind instruments have a mouthpiece?
theres a reed that you need unlike other instruments
Is a reed instrument and a woodwind instrument the same thing?
All reed instruments are part of the woodwind instrument family, but there are some other woodwinds also that are not reed instruments - mainly the flute.
Is a bagpipe a woodwind instrument?
Yes, although because pipes developed independantly of other instruments they are different to something like a clarinet, but they are still fundamentally a woodwind instrument.
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
What are the differences between brass and woodwind instruments?
Brass instruments tend to be made out of brass or other metals/alloys. Woodwind instruments have reeds, which makes a different sound to the brass instrument (in simple terms you have to blow raspberries into to make a sound- it is a little more complecated than that, but its hard to explain).

Is it ok for kids to share a woodwind instrument?
If the kid plays a woodwind instrument that requires a mouthpiece, then the player tends to spit while playing, so the kids could pass their spit to the next person. You could use your own mouth piece and the same instrument. Or if the kid is sick, then he/she could pass their germs to the other person.

What is a double woodwind instrument?
You may be referring to a double-reed instrument. An example would be an oboe, or a bassoon, or an English horn. They are of the double-reed family because their reeds consist of two very thin pieces of cane, bound together by a film and twine. When played, the two pieces vibrate against each other, whereas a single-reed instrument, like the clarinet, vibrates against the mouthpiece.
