Talk:List of woodwind instruments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Duplication of effort

Is it really useful to have this page in addition to List of musical instruments by Hornbostel-Sachs number? Granted "woodwinds" do not appear as a single category in Hornbostel-Sachs (instead there are "flutes", and "reed instruments"), and the Hornbostel-Sachs names can be confusing (e.g. they use "clarinets" to mean single reed instruments, so a saxophone is categorized as a "clarinet, conical bore". Still, maintaining both that list and this seems a duplication of effort. -- Rsholmes 02:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
