What is the saxophone defined as?? I thought it was a woodwind, but I've seen it classified as a brass. Could it be a brasswind?? Anyway, some clarification is appreciated.

Thanks!!

Woodwind, as defined by Wikipedia, is an instrument whose sound is produced by blowing against an edge, or by vibrating a reed. As the name implies, some of these instruments were originally made of wood, but some, like saxophone and flute, are now made of other materials.

Woodwind it is.

woodwind but sometimes some saxes will be 'consitered' brass when played in concert bands because of similar parts.
