What is an oboe?
You may have heard that I play the oboe. I'm sure by now many of you are wondering what exactly is an oboe?! The oboe is a wood instrument and is considered part of the woodwind family. What makes the oboe unique from other woodwinds is the way in which it creates a sound. Some of you may know that the saxophone and clarinet use a thin piece of wood called a reed that is fastened to a mouthpiece and when blown into makes a sound. The oboe also uses a reed, in fact it uses two of them! The oboe does not have a mouthpiece in the way that a clarinet or saxophone does. Instead, two reeds are tied onto a metal tube that has a piece of cork glued onto the bottom. When constructed correctly, these reeds vibrate against each other creating a "double reed". This reed is then inserted cork end first into the oboe. The double reed is what gives the oboe it's unmistakable sound.
The following are examples of what the oboe sounds like:
(Note, the 3rd clip is of me playing the oboe and its cousin, the English Horn, a lower pitched double reed instrument. I begin this piece on English horn and switch to oboe halfway through.
