Answers.com > Wiki Answers > Categories > Entertainment & Arts > Music > Musical Instruments > What is facts about the woodwind family?
Answer:
  1. Woodwind instruments use vibrating air to produce many different musical sounds.
  2. The instruments in this family all used to be made of wood, which gives them their name. Today, they are made of wood, metal, plastic or some combination.
  3. You play them by blowing air through the mouthpiece (that's the "wind" in "woodwind") and opening or closing the holes with your fingers to change the pitch.
  4. The oldest instrument in the woodwind family is the flute.
  5. The reason the flute is in the woodwind family, although being predominantly made of metal, is a small wooden cork ring in the top section.
