Final answer:

The saxophone is classified as a woodwind due to its reed mouthpiece, and not all wind instruments require breath to play.


Explanation:

The saxophone is considered a woodwind instrument despite being made of metal because it uses a single-reed mouthpiece, similar to clarinets and other woodwinds, to produce sound. Woodwind instruments traditionally include those that force air through a tube to create a vibrating air column, with the saxophone and modern flute being exceptions made of metal but still using a wooden reed.

False: You do not need to use wind (breath) to play all instruments in the wind family. Examples include the organ, where the sound is produced by air pushed through pipes by mechanical means rather than breath.
