Woodwind Instruments
Most woodwind instruments are tubes that were once exclusively made from wood that musicians propelled their breath through to make music. Some woodwinds are conical, featuring a graduated shape, while other woodwinds are cylindrical, maintaining an even diameter throughout the length of the instrument. The length of a woodwind instrument’s tube is related to the pitch produced. If a tube has a hole halfway up, the length of resonating tube is only as long as the tube down to the hole. Covering the hole increases the length of resonating tube and lowers the pitch. Musicians playing woodwind instruments change pitch by changing the length of the resonating tube. There are five families of woodwind instruments; flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, and bassoon.
