The family of wind instruments: from the recorder to the horn
Among the families of musical instruments, wind instruments are probably the first ones that we have an experience of in our life. The recorder, just to make an example, is perhaps the first – and often also the only – instrument that you try to play at school and sometimes even at the infant school. However, the family of wind instruments also includes many other instruments, from bagpipes to the sax.
First of all, we can say that wind instruments are those instruments that can make sounds by means of a vibration of air, without using strings or vibrating membranes. Wind instruments are divided in two categories, depending on whether the vibrating air is contained in the instrument itself – as happens in flutes, reeds and brasses – or not. The family of flutes includes popular instruments like the recorder and the transverse flute, but also less popular instruments, like the piccolo and the ocarina. The term reeds stands for those instruments, like the clarinet, which have a thin plastic strip, which is called reed, at the end of the extremity, which vibrates with the pressure of the air. In addition to clarinets, this family also includes instruments like saxophones, oboes and bagpipes. The brass section includes instruments in which the reed is made of the lips of the person who plays, like trumpets and trombones.
