What's the difference between brass and woodwind?
- You do a bronx cheer into the mouthpiece of brass
- With a recorder, you simply blow into the fipple
- The modern flute requires you to blow across the mouth hole (transverse)
- Reed instruments like sax and clarinet: the reed vibrates in the mouthpiece, in contact with the player's lips
The above needs some work, and it needs to be moved somewhere easier to find. --Ed Poor Talk 06:50, 15 November 2008 (EST)
- I left some instruments in the Musical Instruments category, partially because I didn't know how to classify them and partially because I was really tired. I think recorder was one of them. Clarify away, Ed! -Foxtrot 15:31, 15 November 2008 (EST)
