Reed instruments are called Woodwinds. Although a Flute is a woodwind, and doesn't use a reed.
I play Alto Sax. I've been playing since 4th grade, and I'm now in 10th grade. I also have plenty of Bari Sax experience. Playing the Sax is a lot of fun. I suggest learning Alto, as that's what you'll have the most fun with. If you want to learn it and are able to, I suggest you go for it.
So, I specialize in Woodwinds. I'm a great Sax player, and although I don't play woodwinds that aren't Sax, I can tell you about the range of other woodwinds and such. But I want to learn a Brass instrument. I've been talking to my band instructor about learning Trumpet. On Monday during my Music Theory class he's going to have me pull out all the school-owned Trumpets and see which one is in the best condition and I'll get to learn it. But if none of them are good enough, he'll bring one in from somewhere else. This is pretty exciting, I wonder how I'll do?
