∙ 10y agoA Clarinet can definitely play lower than an oboe, and the comfortable range of the oboe reaches a few notes higher than that of the clarinet. For most student level playing, the oboe is slightly higher. However, the practical range of the clarinet is generally considered to be a few notes higher than that of the oboe.

∙ 15y agoYes. The lowest note on the flute is three half steps higher than the oboe and it's range is also higher than the oboe.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, because it is a smaller instrument, and sound waves have less room to vibrate.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the note you are playing. Some notes are higher on the flute even if you are playing the same note on the clarinet and vice-versa.

The oboe d'amore is in A; the oboe is in C. The oboe d'amore is a minor third lower in pitch than the oboe, however typically music for the oboe d'amore is written so that oboe fingerings may be used (in other words, the note A is printed as a C, so that the player uses the oboe fingering for C but the note sounds a minor third lower).

An oboe, is a lot harder to make a good sound, and the clarinet is a little bit easier. an oboe has a double reed, and a clarinet has a regular reed.

What is the difference between a bassoon and a bass clarinet?
There is a HUGE difference between an oboe and a bassoon. Bassoons are low woodwinds that are very large and have a reed that sticks out of the middle of the instrument. It sounds kind of muffled and normally plays a similar part in a song as the bass instruments (tuba, trombone, etc.) An oboe is similar in physical attributes to an English horn. An oboe has 2 reeds and plays a similar part in songs that a flute does, just a bit lower-pitched.
What is different about the cor anglais's shape compared to the oboe?

Is the viola in the same clef as the oboe?
they are both Bb instruments, but they range of notes isnt. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Sorry, but that (original) answer above is half-false. The oboe most definitely is NOT a Bb (transposing) instrument. The Oboe is a CONCERT-PITCH instrument. The Clarinet may be pitched in a variety of keys; Bb today is the most prevalent, but the A Clarinet is (or should be) in the collection of every professional orchestral clarinetist. The Oboe's range extends down to the Bb (one whole step) below Middle C; the Bb Clarinet's lowest written note is the "E" below Middle C; because it is a Bb transposing instrument, that "E" actually sounds one whole step lower - "D". The oboe's larger, deeper cousin - the English horn - is a transposing instrument: in F. Its written note will sound a perfect fifth lower than written.
