Sorry, but that (original) answer above is half-false. The Oboe most definitely is NOT a Bb (transposing) instrument. The Oboe is a CONCERT-PITCH instrument. The Clarinet may be pitched in a variety of keys; Bb today is the most prevalent, but the A Clarinet is (or should be) in the collection of every professional orchestral clarinetist. The Oboe's range extends down to the Bb (one whole step) below Middle C; the Bb Clarinet's lowest written note is the "E" below Middle C; because it is a Bb transposing instrument, that "E" actually sounds one whole step lower - "D".
The oboe's larger, deeper cousin - the English horn - is a transposing instrument: in F. Its written note will sound a perfect fifth lower than written.

∙ 12y agoI play both instruments and the answer is yes and no. The violin can play all the notes an oboe can but an oboe can not play all the notes a violin can. This is because the violin can play notes both higher and lower than that of an oboe.
If you are asking whether or not when you play violin music with an oboe will the notes be at the same pitch and vice versa then yes. Both instruments are in the key of C.
