Question. Why is a saxophone classified a woodwind when it's made of Brass?
I am a string player, we ask a lot of questions. i Do you know why a Viola is better than a Violin? A Viola holds more beer.

A saxophone is a woodwind because it uses a reed. Simple as that.

I don't know why, but the joke at the University of Northern Colorado was that viola players needed handicap parking spaces.

I have no idea why that was, musta been a string thing...
