What instrument is deeper than a oboe?
Some lower-sounding oboe/ double reed family members are the English Horn and Oboe d' amore. They are about a 1/3rd octave lower, larger, and deeper sounding, but still share the sound we all love.
What reed does are oboe have?
The Oboe has a double reed, which are two reeds basically put together and held by twine. These reeds are very hard to play and take a while to learn.

Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Flute.The woodwind family of instruments includes, from the highest sounding instruments to the lowest, the flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn,clarinet, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon and contra-bassoon.These are woodwind instruments that would most likely play in a full orchestra but it can be changed depending on the and availability of players.
Which windwood instruments are played by blowing air through a double reed?
An oboe or a bassoon are the only instruments I'm aware of with double reeds. Clarinets and saxophones (all varieties) have a single reed. Saxophones can have double or sing reeds.
What is known as a english horn?
An english horn is a straight woodwind instrument similar to the oboe or clarinet. It is a little larger than an oboe, but both feature a conical bore - the long, tubelike opening down through the center widens bit by bit as it approaches the bell and the outside world. This gives both horns a more trumpet-like tone than the clarinet, which has a cylindrical bore. (The opening down through the center is the same size all the way down the instrument) Unlike the clarinet, both the oboe and English horn have double reeds to produce their sound. Clarinets have a single reed in a mouthpiece holder.
Is the viola in the same clef as the oboe?
they are both Bb instruments, but they range of notes isnt. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] 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.
What band intrument reads music written in treble clef?
Here is a list: * Flute * Oboe * Clarinet * Trumpet * Bassoon * English Horn * Piccolo * French Horn * Violin * Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Saxophones * Tuned percussion instruments (xylophone, vibraphone, bells, ect.) that's all i can think of right now. I personally play oboe, clarinet, and tuned percussion instruments. Oboe is very difficult and fun, but again extremely difficult. Clarinet is easy to pick up. Tuned percussion is extremely easy to learn and play well.
Why is the bassoon sound lower than the oboe?
This is a basic physics concept. The longer an instrument, the lower the frequency of the sound waves coming out of it, and therefore a lower pitch. The Oboe is a small, short instrument. The bassoon, on the other hand, is a large instrument. Because it is longer, you get a lower pitch. This principle applies for all instruments.
What orchestra instruments use the treble clef?
The orchestral instruments that use both the bass and tenor clefs are the cello and the bass. These instuments also use the treble clef.
Are there other double reed instruments in an orchestra besides the oboe?
The bassoon is also a double reed instrument. The main woodwinds in an orchestra are the flute, clarinet, oboe, and the bassoon. The first two are of course not double reeds. There is also the English Horn (cor anglais) that is a double reeded woodwind instrument, but isn't in all orchestral music.
Does an oboe have clarienet notes?
well the oboe and clarinet have very similar fingering so it all depends on what note
What colors can you get in an oboe?
All the colours of the rainbow...!
