What is an "oboe"?
An oboe is a wooden, double-reed wind instrument with a slender, cylindrical shape and a flared bell. It produces sound by blowing air through a pair of reeds that vibrate together. The oboe has a series of keys and holes along its body that the player covers to change the pitch. Known for its distinct, penetrating sound and expressive tone, the oboe is a key instrument in orchestras and chamber music, providing both melodic lines and rich harmonic support. Its unique sound and versatility make it a prominent choice in classical and contemporary music.
