Question:Not like trumpet or violin actually like Brass and woodwind.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Not like trumpet or violin actually like Brass and woodwind.

Here are the "5" types that you might be looking for:

Wind
Brass
Voice
Percussion
String

PS~ In case you are interested, a reed instrument is a wind instrument and a keyboard instrument is considered a percussion instrument

The "classic" classifications are:

Brass
Woodwind
Percussion
String
and Reed

Brass, woodwind, percussion, string,

I'm stuck on the last one!!

I believe they are (1) stringed instruments, (2) wind instruments, (3) percussion instruments, (4) keyboard instruments, and (5) electronic instruments.

Brass
Woodwind
Stringed
Reed
Percussion

Electronic - pretty much recognised as covering ALL electronic instruments such as synthesizers, theramins etc.

woodwind and reed are the same,I believe
