non-free aerophones are instruments where the vibrating air is contained within the instrument. often called wind instruments, they are typically divided into two categories; woodwind and brass. it is widely accepted that wind instruments are not classified on the material from which they are made, as a woodwind instrument does not need to be made of wood, nor a brass instrument made of brass. woodwind instruments are often made with wood, metal, glass or ivory and include the flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, recorder and the saxophone. brass instruments are often made with silver, copper, ivory, horn, or even wood and include the trumpet, cornet, horn, trombone and the tuba.
