To be fair, any traditional wind instruments (including clarinets) can be considered horns. When in a marching band setting and the leader says "Band horns up" it means everyone puts their instruments up (and the drum line readies their sticks)

​@@cringebutyee1326 Saxophones are indeed woodwinds, specifically they are conical-bore single-reed woodwinds. Construction material is still irrelevant.

[@nicolaslofgren]

There’s no such thing as a “horn instrument”. Any wind instrument (woodwinds/brass) can be called “horns”. Clarinets, saxes, flutes, oboes, etc are woodwinds. Clarinets/saxes are reeds, oboe/bassoon/english horn are double reeds, flutes are flutes. Trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, french horn, trombones, baritone, euphonium, tuba, etc are brass. Anything else (strings, percussion, keyboards, etc) are not winds/“horns”.

[@btat16]

Nicolas Lofgren In Jazz, the term “horn” is colloquially used to refer to all the jazz woodwind instruments as all of them essentially function like a horn.

[@nicolaslofgren]

Not Happy Yeah. Brass too though. I was just explaining that wind instruments are called horns, but saying “horn instruments” sounds kind of strange. Also Andrew annotated at 0:28 that clarinets are “woodwinds not horns,” which doesn’t make sense.
