I agree with JohnLoveMusic on the most part. Actually, the highest woodwind instrument might be the piccolo oboe...but don't quote me.
Personally my favorite instrument to listen to is harp, or bassoon, or harp and bassoon duets!

"The highest flute voice is a C7 at 2093 Hz"
Just a point of correction,
This C7 isn't the highest note of the flute although many less advanced fingering charts only go up that high. As a point of fact J.J. Quantz published Traverso flute fingerings for the High C7 back in the 1700s but also didn't recommend anything above E6 as being artistically practical.
For the Boehm Concert C flute, there are fingerings that go to the F# ~2959.96 above that C7 although, I've not seen it used as yet. The high F natural 2793.83 has been regularly played though in Sir James Galway's performances of the Ibert Flute Concerto since about 1974. One factor in hitting these notes aside from the ability of the player and their conditioning is the cut of the head joint.
The piccolo (Flauto Piccolo) has the capability of reaching the C8 ~4186 at least but of course this is dependent on the player and the instrument. So, some may be able to play higher.
A final point,
There are smaller members of the Recorder (also a flute) family that may be of the highest in the wind instruments:

If you will observe, the tiny "garklein" recorder sounds a pitch one octave above D7 ~4698.
