Relationships
Parents	WoodwindInstrument	A woodwind Instrument.
Children	Accordion	Family of box-shaped bellows-driven free-reed aerophones. Played by compressing or expanding the bellows while pressing buttons or keys, causing pallets to open, which allow air to flow across strips of brass or steel called reeds. These vibrate to produce sound inside the body. Valves on opposing reeds of each note are used to make the instrument's reeds sound louder without air leaking from each reed block. The performer normally plays the melody on buttons or keys on the right-hand manual, and the accompaniment, consisting of bass and pre-set chord buttons, on the left-hand manual.
Instances	Alboka	Basque woodwind made up of a single reed, two small diameter melody pipes with finger holes, and a bell typically made from animal horn. The two pipes allow for simultaneous performance of two notes.
	AltoClarinet	The Wind-Reed Instrument Alto Clarinet.
	AltoCrumhorn	Second highest crumhorn. There are Alto Crumhorns pitched in both G and in F, each with a typical range of a major ninth.
	AltoRecorder	The Wind-Reed Instrument Alto Recorder.
	AltoShawm	Mid-range shawm, lower than the soprano and higher than the tenor.
	Arghul	Ancient Egyptian, single-reed, double-pipe woodwind. One pipe is longer and is a drone pipe, while the other one, the melodic pipe, is shorter and has several tone holes that change the pitch.
	Aulochrome	Two soprano saxophones fused together that can be played separately or together at the same time by one player. It was developed by the Belgian François Louis and prototyped in 1999.
	Bagpipes	Woodwind instrument which produces sound by enclosed reeds fed from a reservoir of air in a bag. Bagpipes are typically made up of several parts - the bag which holds air and regulates its flow, the chanter, which is a melody pipe with a reed at the top, played with two hands, and the drone, a pipe which is not fingered and which produces a constant drone. Though Scottish bagpipes are the most well-known, bagpipes were developed by 1000 BC by the ancient Hittites, and have historically been played across Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia.
