Writing for a specific instrument requires the ability to take into account the special properties of that instrument such as the following:
the pitch, timbre and dynamic range of the instrument and available tones in these ranges
See orchestration for a description of the difference between instrumentation, orchestration and arrangement. In music, pitch is the perception of the frequency of a note. ... Timbre is a relatively poorly defined perceptual quality of sounds. ... In music, dynamics refers to the volume or loudness of the sound or note, in particular to the range from soft (quiet) to loud. ...

A wind instrument is a member of a family of musicalinstruments.
The academic study of musicalinstruments is called organology.
Wind instruments generate a sound when a column of air is made to vibrate inside them.
The frequency of the wave generated is related to the length of the column of air and the shape of the instrument, while the tone quality of the sound generated is affected by the construction of the instrument and method of tone production.
