- Well, the Oboe came from the shawn, which was made in the 12th century.
- The exact place of origin of the oboe itself, and the date, are obscure. In the English language, before 1770, the instrument was actually called the "hautbois". For more information about the oboe and its history, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.

∙ 11y agoA (modern, 'german') bassoon is about 8ft 4in (approx 2.54m) from the top of the bell, round to the reed on the crook. A bassoon stands about 4ft 5in tall when stood on the floor (from the 'butt joint' to the top of the bell) or approx 1.34m. (Presuming there is no 'spike' fitted!)

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).
