The Wind Instruments make use of wind (blown) to vibrate the tube and reeds of the instruments. Its origin can be traced back to BC 1100, the Shang Dynasty, when there were Xun, He (Sheng), and Yan (Da Xiao) etc.

The tone of the instruments depends on the strength of the wind (blown). Different strength can produced pitches that differ by a perfect fifth or an octave.
