When was the oboe created?
The Oboe has been around for a long time. During the 17th century is when baroque oboes first came out, and they got more complex over time. Shakespeare's stage directions often call for 'Hautboys'. These are oboes.
Did they use music in the Globe theatre?
Absolutely. Stage directions suggest the frequent use of trumpets, sackbuts (trombones) and hautboys (oboes) in making offstage music. Many of the plays have songs right in the text which were meant to be sung by the actors. Drums formed an important part of military display in the plays with battlefield action.
Two elizabethan musical intruments?
The sackbut was a primitive trombone without slide or valves. The hautbois was an early oboe (when you say hautboys with a French accent it sort of comes out sounding like "oboe"). They also had viols, which were sort of like violins and other members of the strings, but they had thinner and looser strings and they were played differently. And there were lutes, which are sort of pear-shaped guitars with a rounded back and a pegbox bent sharply away from the fingerboard.

What character in Shakespeare played the flute or oboe?
Characters in the plays do not plays oboes (spelled "hautboys" back then) but they were played often by musicians to announce the arrival of a great person. Oboes back then had a harsh braying sound quite unlike the sweet sad sound they have now. Think about the sound of bagpipe chanters, which are double reeds the same as oboes. Flutes, especially recorders, were another story. Ariel in the Tempest plays one along with a small drum (a "tabor"). The pipe he was playing was a one-handed pipe, so the other hand would be free to beat the drum. Hamlet also probably plays one after the Mousetrap play when he demands that Guildenstern should play for him on the recorder and says "Look you, these are the stops."
What instruments was used in shakespeare plays?
Recorders are mentioned in Hamlet. A lute is mentioned in Taming of the Shrew. Oboes (called hautboys) were common instruments in the theatre as were trombones (sackbuts) and both appear in stage directions along with trumpets and drums. Viols are mentioned in Comedy of Errors. There is a reference in Love's Labour's Lost to a cittern (sort of a bass guitar). Organ-pipes are referred to in King John and The Tempest, and keyboard instruments of the clavichord or harpsichord type did exist. All instruments were of course acoustic.
