How sound is produced on a brass instrument and how is different from woodwind?

In woodwind instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, bassoon etc. the sound is produced when the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece. Coupled with the shape, and material of the instrument it will produce a different timbre. Brass instruments are slightly different. With brass instruments like a trumpet, euphonium, tuba - there is no reed. Instead, the mouthpiece is a single fixture and works kind of like this **Note: I am a bassoonist, saxist, and pianist. I've never put my mouth on a brass mouthpiece so I'm sorry if it is vague. Brass players don't just blow into the instrument like woodwinds do, but they instead have to "buzz" the mouthpiece. Basically what that means is that they blow through their tightly pressed lips to make the "buzz". So the main reason why the sound is different in brass and woodwind instruments is because of the playing technique.

Do woodwind or brass instruments make the higher pitch?

Um, I think you're mixing things up a bit. String instruments aren't blown. They are played with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings (which is called pizzicato). The string instruments' pitches are affected by the ''tautness (how tightly they're pulled) or tightness of of the strings and where the fingers are placed to make the string more taut and make the pitch higher.'' Woodwind and Brass instruments are blown and as far as I know blowing harder just makes them louder. ''Wind instrument pitch is mostly changed by changing the length of the vibrations in the tube (i.e., in the bore.) This happens every time the player changes the fingering: opening holes shortens the bore, closing them lengthens it. There are also ways of changing the pitch by changing breath pressure or embouchure tension (lips).'' I borrowed some information from other people's answers in order to get this one. (Thank you to them). I hope this helps by the way.

What are the five categories of instruments in the Sachs- Hornbostel system?

In the Sachs- Hornbostel system there are five categories of instruments based on the physical characteristics of sound. The chordophones are instruments with strings stretched between fixed points. Aerophones are instruments that use air as primary source of vibrations. Membranophones are instruments that vibrate by means of tightly stretched skins. Idiophones are instruments that are sounded by the instrument itself. Electrophones is the last category that was added due to the advancement of technology.
