Question

A wind instrument:
A. Jazz
B. Tabla
C. Saxophone
D. Sitar

Answer 1

Hint: Wind instruments are those musical instruments in which sound is produced by the flow of air. Air is the primary medium of vibration in this type of musical instrument.

Complete answer:
Jazz is not a musical instrument but it is a form of music. In other words, it can be said that jazz music is a type of music produced when a musical instrument produces Jazz sound. Jazz music can be produced by both types of musical instruments that are woodwind and brass made instruments are used to produce Jazz music.

Tabla is a musical instrument in which two drum shaped small objects are used to produce sound. It is a Indian origin musical instrument which is used for various purposes by people of different regions.

Saxophone is a wind instrument which is used to produce Jazz music. Basically, wind instruments are broadly classified into two categories i.e. brass instruments and woodwind instruments and Saxophone comes under this category as it uses the air as a vibrating medium resulting in production of sound.

Sitar is another type of musical producing instrument device which has metal wires winded to it. Vibrations in this instrument are not produced by air as a primary medium but the human hand is used to produce vibrations. Hence it can be said that Sitar is not a wind instrument.

Therefore, from the above statements it can be said that Saxophone belongs to the wind instrument category

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
Try to understand the primary working functions of all the mentioned instruments otherwise confusion will be there to distinguish them.A wind instrument is a musical instrument that contains some type of resonator (usually a tube) in which a column of air is set into vibration by the player blowing into (or over) a mouthpiece set at or near the end of the resonator.
