∙ 13y agoYou place the reed in your mouth after you have put all the pieces of the oboe together. Next you cover the right key and blow hard to get the note out. To raise the pitch you push the reed down on your bottom lip, and to lower the pitch you take out of your mouth just a bit.

∙ 14y agoAn oboe reed is a pair of joined reeds that vibrate together to produce sound in certain wind instruments, such as bassoons and oboes. I play an Oboe, and at the begining it may sound like a duck to you but that is normal for the begiging. You just have to get used to the reed and after a while the Oboe will start to change in sound. Play it as if you are the Oboe, not the notes as it says but play it how you would want it to sound. Glad I could help :)
