They are named woodwinds because in the Middle Ages when these instruments were manufactured people made them from timber. This kind of manufacturing is left behind the centuries but people still use wood in the construction of woodwinds. Labial and lingual are the versions of the woodwinds after the method of the air blowing in them. There is a lateral opening on the upside of the labial musical instrument where the air is blown. Within the tube the current of air is separated in two portions with the edge. It is the reason of air resonance within the tube where the music emerges. Flute is related to labial instruments. The construction of lingual woodwinds is a little bit differing. There is a reed through which the artist blows the air. Clarinet and saxophone are related to lingual along with some kinds of rare instruments. The reed is attached to the upside of the instrument and it becomes the stimulant of the air stream resonance inside the tube. There are two types of reeds too: single and double. A single reed is a small cane blade and its function is to close orifice in the mouthpiece of the woodwind instrument and to make there a little crack. The vibration of the reed helps to shut and open the channel in the mouthpiece of the instrument. A double reed is composed of 2 cane laminas closely united with each other. Resonance is created by the air that shuts and opens the hole between the canes. To this type contemporary oboe and bassoon are related.
