A wind instrument, like a flute, creates sound from the air coming out of the lungs, hitting a sharp edge that changes the flow of the air dramatically. The flow comes first, the vibration of air making sound comes second. A string instrument, like a guitar, creates sound by setting a string vibrating. The vibration [...]
