Flute in woodwind family

Hi! I am here to introduce you to the woodwind family! Is there anybody who can tell me what “woodwind” means? Yes, basically woodwind is just 2 words that are combined together. Wood means wood and Wind means Air. This term stands for the process of making a sound from these instruments. In ancient times, they made holes in the wooden tube and blew it to create sound. After that musicians developed it in to many kinds of woodwind instruments and it takes so much time and effort to make these kinds of instruments nowadays. But for the flute, it’s different. Do u know what it is made of at the beginning? It was made of a bone from animal bones and the they change it to wood and then the man named Theobald Boehm made a flute from the alloy.
