What is the difference between oboe reeds and English horn reeds?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
An English horn is longer and has a lower, mellower sound. It has a bulbous bell, instead of a conical bell. Also, the English horn is in F instead of C. The English horn has a double reed like the Oboe, but it does not go directly into the instrument. It has a small metal pipe that connects the instrument to the reed; called a bocal (like the bassoon). Also, the reed itself is shorter and wider. Unlike the oboe reed, there is no cork, just a brass tube called a staple. The fingerings are the same, but the keys are spaced apart more, so some people might not be able to reach them.

∙ 14y agoWell the look is almost the same but the noise is different and so is the fingering the sheet music is nothing like the clarinets and it is harder to master the qualities to the oboe than the Clarinet

∙ 12y agoAn English horn reed is similar in appearance to an oboe reed, but there are also marked differences. The English horn (EH) reed is shorter and wider by a few millimeters. The oboe reed has a brass staple partially covered by cork. This is to fit it into the top of the oboe securely. The EH has a small metal pipe called a bocal ( like on a bassoon, only shorter). This bocal fits into the instrument and the EH reed goes on the other end. Because of this arrangement, the EH reed has no cork just a brass staple with a lip on the bottom. The thread that secured the reed to the staple extends to the top of the lip.
The previous answer of "an incomplete oboe reed" is wrong and as an oboist/ hornist of 14 years makes my skin crawl. Shame on you previous answerer!

∙ 12y agoIm a violinist, but I believe they have some of the same fingerings, and they both have a low sound.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThey are both double reed instruments, have similar sound, and look very similar.
The biggest difference is the key they are in, and cor anglais is lower than the oboe.
