Although we don't have available a date or place of origin, nor are there recorded the names of the individuals who are responsible for the development of the Oboe, we do know that it is from the middle 17th century. It's original name was hautbois or shawm.

The oboe was invented in the 17th century; 1650's. I'm an oboe player myself, and the oboe is a duck-sounding instrument that is a very dramatic instrument.

Though this is when it was called an oboe, it originated from the shawm.
