This is an oboe. The wonders of google.
The Oboe is in the woodwind family.
There is the heckelphone, the bass oboe, the cor anglais, the oboe d'amore, the regular oboe, and the piccolo oboe. Maybe there are others.
there was the shawm (renessance oboe) and the baroque oboe
The oboe is a main instrumenteven thoughit is often overlooked.The best example is that an oboe tunes up the rest of the orchestrathereforeit is very important.Also....The idea of "backup instrument" doesn't really apply for orchestral music.1. There are oboe concerti, where the oboe is the principal instrument.2. Composers use combinations of instruments to create "colour" in the sound of the music, and you will often find instruments such as the oboe contributing a major part of that colour, especially in slower, more contemplative and "wistful" passages.
The English horn, Oboe d' amore ,Piccolo oboe ,Oboe da caccia ,Hecklphone, Contrabass oboe.
The oboe is in the key of C. When an oboe plays its A, it is 440Hz.
If they are his oboe concertos, then yes, but some of them may be transcribed for oboe.

They are; the Piccolo Oboe (Oboe Musette) the Oboe (including various versions of today's Oboe, including different Baroque, Classical, and Romantic models) the Oboe d'amore the Oboe da Caccia also known as 'taille de hautbois' the English Horn (Cor Anglais or Cor Angle) the Bass (or baritone) Oboe the Contra-Bass Oboe the Heckelphone
Oboe :)
oboe sounds like the oboe, the clarinet sounds somewhat like it, but its not the same.
The Baritone oboe is the largest in the oboe family. Though if you mean in the double reed family it's the contrabasson. An oboist couldn't play the contrabassoon, but he could play the baritone oboe. It's 1 octave lower than the oboe.
