Musical Instruments have some part that vibrates at a regular frequency. This vibrating part makes the air around it vibrate and these vibrations make the sound waves. The part that vibrates is often a string or a reed or a drum-head or in the case of horns, the player's lips. The vibrations are amplified by a column of air or a sounding board or something else that resonates at the frequency produced by the original vibration.

How can a obeo make musical sound?

An oboe produces musical sound through the vibration of a double reed, which consists of two pieces of cane that are bound together. When a musician blows air between the reeds, they vibrate, creating sound waves. The pitch is modified by the length of the air column inside the instrument, which can be altered by opening and closing keys along the body of the oboe. This allows for a wide range of musical notes and expressive tones.
