About Oboes


A staple in orchestras and concert bands across the world, the oboe is a double-reed woodwind instrument. The most popular type of oboe is a soprano one and is typically pitched to C, though you can find others that cover different keys and ranges. An oboe consists of a cone-shaped bore and bell made of grenadilla wood, plastic or composite material, fitted with metal keys. Because of its cone-shaped bore, the oboe produces a bright sound, and its soprano range spans from Bâ™­3 to G6.
