Can you explain the difference between an oboe and a saxophone?

An oboe is a woodwind instrument that produces sound when air is blown across its reed. It has a conical bore with a single reed, which vibrates when air is passed over it. A saxophone is also a woodwind instrument, but instead of producing sound by blowing air over a reed, it uses a mouthpiece to direct the player’s breath into a metal tube. The player then blows air through the tube, creating vibration in the metal tubing. This creates sound waves that are amplified by the body of the instrument.
