Oboes play in full orchestras, concert bands, woodwind quintets, woodwind quartets, and probably some other smaller groups
It is difficult to provide an exact percentage of people who play the oboe as it varies widely depending on the population being considered. In general, the oboe is not as commonly played as other instruments such as the piano or guitar. However, among musicians or music students, the percentage of oboe players may be slightly higher due to its unique sound and importance in classical music ensembles.
The oboe is a woodwind instrument typically played in orchestras, concert bands, and chamber music ensembles. It is a soprano-range instrument, known for its distinctive, expressive sound. Oboists usually play in the first or second chair, often responsible for tuning the orchestra due to the instrument's clear pitch. The oboe is played using a double reed, which contributes to its unique timbre.
A standard oboe can play a 13-note range - from a low B to a high G.
the oboe reads on the treble clef and in the key of C
The oboe is a better instrument to play. I play it and it was very fun to learn. The Oboe isn't as common as the violin so many people ask me to demonstrate it because they have never heard it before. Plus if you are looking for a job as an oboe player it is easy to get the job because there isn't many oboe players.So the OBOE is better than the VIOLIN.

there is no such thing as an oboe percussion. there is an oboe, and there are percussion instruments, but not an oboe percussion. From an oboe player: I think you might be mixed up. I play some pieces that say oboe/percussion on them, but that is because those pieces are written for middle school bands.
