Only if played at the same time:)

The modern orchestras woodwind section typically includes: flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons. The piccolo, cor anglais, bass clarinet, E-flat clarinet, and contrabassoon are commonly used supplementary woodwind instruments. The section may also on occasion be expanded by the addition of saxophone(s).

The concert band's woodwind section is typically much larger and more diverse than the orchestra's. The concert band's woodwind section typically includes: piccolo, flutes, oboes, B clarinets, bass clarinets, bassoons, alto saxophones, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone. The cor anglais, E clarinet, alto clarinet, contra-alto clarinet, contrabass clarinet, contrabassoon, and soprano saxophone are also used, but not as frequently as the other woodwinds.

According to some classifications bagpipes are also 'woodwind'

Impressive if all played by one person at the same time.

 

Even more impressed if you typed that lot out!

All Saxophones are technically Woodwind, as they all have Reeds?

Saxophone are classed as Woodwind Because they have Reeds, yes?even though they are made of Metal

This could become a 5 minute Swallows type Discussion:)

See what you mean. Yes, they are woodwind because they are reed instruments

Brass instruments don't have to be made of metal

Many percussion instruments are made of metal but are not in the Brass section

If I ran things ALL Brass Instruments would be made of Proper Brass, would reduce confusion.

Anyway, this bit

The African/European swallow thing is from the film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'

The 'five minute' bit was an argument in the sketch 'The Argument Clinic'

You've conflated two different things
