What Is An Oboe?

Do you know what an oboe is?

  • Just curious (and bored)

  • Answer:

    The oboe is one of the most awesome instruments in the world, featuring a double reed for its sound. I envy you if you can play it. The most I've ever heard out of it is a strangely ducky noise, except for professional players. If you like classical oboe music, I'd suggest Cimarosa... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000037IG/002-3559512-8572863?v=glance&n=5174 Great music!

Yes. It looks similar to a clarinet, but has a double sided reed.

An oboe is a great way to irritate my neighbors! I also play saxophones, but you can get way squeakier with an oboe than on a soprano sax.

It's a double-reed woodwind instrument that has a conical tube, a brilliant penetrating tone, and a usual range from B flat below middle C upward for over 2½ octaves.

An oboe is a woodwind instrument played through double reeds. It looks similar to a clarinet, but has more of a "duck" tone. I love the sound of the oboe, but I hear it's very difficult to play. It's related to the bassoon.
