The transposition system for these instruments is very messy compared to the string instruments. To start, most flutes, oboes, bassoons, saxophones, orchestral clarinets and orchestral nielsenphones follow the system where every member of the family is always a 10edo fifth (5\10) apart. However, the pure clarinets and pure nielsenphones are all a 10edo eighth (8\10) apart, causing both transposition systems to have separate names. That does not take into account the two "English" and "German" style key systems, which make classification of orchestral woodwind instruments in Earth#10 much more complicated than in our world. | The transposition system for these instruments is very messy compared to the string instruments.
