None. The column of air inside the instrument vibrates.

Compare this to a string instrument -- the string vibrates, of course.

With the reed instrument, such as a Clarinet or bassoon -- the reed vibrates. The vibrating reed causes the column of air inside the instrument to vibrate.

However, the brass instruments do not have vibrating parts. What makes the column of air vibrate is the buzzing of the player's lips!
