Saxophone is an instrument, usually made of brass but classified as a woodwind instrument since it has an similar sound production system with the Clarinet (a single-reed mout â¦ hpiece).
Saxophones also use a reed. This is why they are classified as a woodwind and not a brass instrument. As far as instruments go, saxophones are fairly new, having only been created in the mid-1840s. Because of this, there aren't really many orchestral pieces that include saxophone.
