Explanation

The saxophone is classified as a woodwind instrument because it uses a reed to produce sound, even though it's made of brass. All woodwind instruments either use a reed (like clarinet, saxophone) or have a hole to blow across (like flute). The material of the instrument doesn't determine its family - the sound production mechanism does.
