oboe.If i give you extra information; oboist hate reeds.This is the truth.Because every oboe reed
give different voice.And they are very sensitive.This is the reason why we dont like oboe reeds.

OBOE BROTHERHOOD
Oboe has got brothers. . The most widely known today is the cor anglais, or English horn, the
tenor (or alto) member of the brotherhood. Contrabass oboe, Oboe de caccia(ancestor of cor
anglais) and piccolo oboe are other member of the brotherhood. Even less common is the bass
oboe (also called baritone oboe), which sounds one octave lower than the oboe. Similar to the
bass oboe is the more powerful heckelphone, which has a wider bore and larger tone than the
baritone oboe.
(cor anglais)
dont.nstead enter Youtube(sorry for advertisement).Write will.i.am or lmfao.t will be great idea
for you.Whatever, lets continuo boring development of oboe..
Late 17th century: Oboes became the primary woodwind instruments in military
bands and orchestras. The cor anglais (English horn) sprouted out as one of the
branches on the oboe tree.I play cor anglais too.Its just amazing.
1700s: A narrower bore was developed to enhance the sound and playability of the
oboe. The oboe damour and oboe da caccia joined the family of oboes.I think oboe
damour the best instrument in the world.
1730-1820: With the dawn of the classical period, the oboes bore became
narrower to facilitate oboists in playing the higher notes, and many new keys were
added. A lot of famous composers, including Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Bach,
wrote music for the oboe. The number of oboe solos also grew rapidly and during this
period. A new kind of woodwind instrument known as the contrabass oboe surfaced.I
advise listen Mozart Oboe Concerto for you.
1800s: The oboe made giant leaps during the nineteenth century. The modern form
of this instrument called the conservatoire oboe was manufactured by the Trieberts, a
Parisian family. They introduced a new key work and the bore was improved as well.
An oboe expert named Apollon M. Barret made it possible for oboists to move from
one octave to another without over blowing, using a special key. Plates were
introduced to cover the finger holes. This century also saw the birth of both the bass
oboe (aka baritone oboe) and Wiener (Viennese) oboe. Viennese oboes have a
broader inner bore and a reed that is smaller and wider compared to the
conservatoire oboe.
1900s: The heckelphone, a relative of the oboe that lives one octave below it,
joined the oboe bandwagon. Luthier Youenn Le Bihan made the first piston oboe.
Many new oboe brands were introduced to the market.Meanwhile if oboe is prince,
heckelphone will be king, oboe damour will be princess, cor anglais will be knight
and flute, clarinet and other brass ensturments are will be jesters.
Present: Oboe artisans like me and producers vigorously enhance the quality of
their oboes to stay ahead of the competition.

things about oboe.And (this is the most important thing) i hope you will dont say
