It plays every note. The Oboe is a double reed instrument and has a 4 - 5 octave range. If you can hear low and high notes the Oboe can play them. The bassoon plays the lower octaves, it is also a double reed instrument.

What notes can the oboe play?

A standard oboe can play a 13-note range - from a low B to a high G.


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 instrument is better to learn an oboe or violin?

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.
