Wind instruments divide into reed and non-reed sound-source types

Evidence

Wind instruments can be split into those with and those without reeds, and organ pipes can be split likewise, based on the sound source mechanism Wind instruments and the pipes of a pipe organ can be split into those without and those with reeds. — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 1160
