I'm not exactly an expert on musical instruments, but I was always under the impression that harmonica fell into the 'wind instrument' pool. Both in terms of mechanism, and function in a performance.
And, having looked it up because you've got me wondering... Yup. Wind instrument.
'Free reed' wind instrument, whatever that means exactly.
However, now I'm wondering... with as large and elaborate as certain styles of flute are... might there be an instrument actually straddles the line between 'wind' and 'brass'?
EDIT: Just checked. Bagpipes are wind instruments, apparently. Not that I thought they were brass, I just got to wondering.
Amusingly enough, the options included bagpipes as well. Harmonica and bagpipes were both wrong, of course, with the third being correct... cornet or something. C-Something.
