Best Answer

The term "double bassoon" refers to the deep-bass of the bassoon family, also called the Contrabassoon. The Oboe is the highest of the double-reed instruments in the orchestra, while the contrabassoon is the very lowest double-reed in the orchestra.

So the double bassoon is very much lower in pitch than the oboe.

probly oboes but it depends on you, oboeist tend to need thin fingers unlike bassoonists who need larger hands to reach keys. Bassoons also have a wider reed which is easier to work with
