Woodwind Instruments

This 12-question quiz covers the woodwind family, the instruments played by blowing air through a pipe, often past a reed.

You will see fill-in-the-blank and true or false prompts, like What woodwind instrument is smaller than the flute and produces a higher pitch? and What is a single-reed instrument invented by Adolphe Sax?, so it suits beginners.

One catch that surprises learners is that not every woodwind is actually made of wood, and a couple of the true or false items play on exactly that idea.

You will also meet the difference between single-reed and double-reed instruments.

Recommended level: beginner.
