How do woodwind instruments make a sound is it by pulling a bow across a strain or by blowing air through an instrument, or by the player, vibrating his lips against the metal mouthpiece, or by hitting, shaking, or scraping the instrument?

Answer 1

Woodwind instruments produce sound by blowing air through the instrument. The player does not pull a bow across a string or hit, shake, or scrape the instrument. Instead, woodwind instruments are played by the player vibrating their lips or using a reed to create vibrations in the air column.
