Most oboes are made of wood, typically african blackwood or grenadilla wood. Other woods include rosewood and violet wood. Student models are sometimes made out of a plastic resin. Most oboes have silver plated keys and cork or skin pads. The reed is made of cane tied with nylon thread onto a typically brass staple, with a cork to ease insertion into the instrument.
