Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All woodwind instruments set up vibrations in a column of air in a tube. This is what produces the sound in all of these instruments. While some woodwinds may use a similar mouthpiece or a reed, this is not true for all of them, making option D the most accurate choice.
