Wind instruments produce sound by using air blown into them, such as flutes or saxophones, while percussion instruments produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped, like drums or cymbals. Wind instruments rely on airflow to create sound, whereas percussion instruments rely on physical impact.

It's worth noting that the pipe organ is also technically a woodwind instrument, because the sounds come from wind passing through its pipes.
