What is a "reed instrument"?

A reed instrument is a type of musical instrument that makes sound through the vibration of a reed, which is a thin, flexible piece of material, usually wood or metal, located in or near the mouthpiece. Examples of reed instruments include the clarinet, saxophone, and oboe. When air is blown across or through the reed, it vibrates and produces sound, which is then amplified by the body of the instrument. Reed instruments are known for their distinctive, rich sound and are commonly used in various musical genres.
