heck no
The bass clarinet plays lower notes than the oboe.
Yes, unless it's a student size bassoon compaired with a bass-oboe
a clarinet is bigger than a oboe but smaller than most others.
No, the flute is much higher than the saxophone and gets up to higher octaves. The most equivalent instrument to it's own kind would probably be the oboe. Piccolo is the highest instrument, which is part of the flute family.
There would be more than one. Instruments in the oboe, saxophone and bassoon families of musical instruments are the first ones that come to my mind.
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.
The English Horn, or Cor Anglais, has a roundish bulge at the end (bell), where the oboe has a bell similar to a clarinet. It is longer than the oboe, and uses a bocal where the oboe does not.
There are four main orchestral woodwind instruments: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon. There are also auxiliary woodwinds such as the Cor Anglais, Piccolo, Bass Clarinet and Contrabassoon.
I hear English horn, bassoon, flute, clarinet, and strings. The first answer given was "Oboe and bass for the first four bars, then oboe with clarinet and strings, then flute with oboe, bass and strings." I think it is possible, even highly likely, that it is not an oboe but an English Horn. The tone quality sounds much more deeply resonant than would be expected for an oboe, especially in the lower register.
Flute bassoon oboe clarinet alto saxophone piccolo tenor saxophone there are a lot more than 7
about the width of a flute, a little wider. it is skinnier than the clarinet. same length though
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. You can listen to them both on Youtube to compare the sound. This choice really has to be yours. Edit: Oboists are usually harder to find, and thus are more in demand, especially in college music programs. You could have a fine shot at a music scholarship as an oboist.
