The mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument is the part of the instrument which is placed partly in the player's mouth. Single-reed instruments have mouthpieces while exposed double-reed instruments and open flutes do not have mouthpieces. The Oboe and the bassoon are two instruments that have a double reed.

Among woodwind instruments, the flute does not use bellows as a source of air. Instead, it produces sound through the vibration of air across an opening. In contrast, instruments like the bagpipe or accordion rely on bellows to push air through the reeds. Other woodwinds, such as clarinets and oboes, use a single or double reed mechanism but still do not incorporate bellows.


Why is an accordion a woodwind instrument?

It is a woodwind instrument because, like other woodwinds, it also uses reeds. Think about a clarinet, for example. Clarinets are woodwinds because when you blow on them, the reed vibrates and makes a sound. Accordions are like having a bunch of different reeds all contained in one instrument. When you press a key down, it opens a reed so that air can flow over it and it can vibrate. Then you have to move the bellows to get air moving over the reed. Since it has reeds, it can be thought of as a woodwind instrument. However, it must be noted that the reeds are usually made of steel, not wood.
