What is the difference between a flute and a oboe?

The flute is longer than a oboe and an oboe has a double reed and a flute does not have a reed. The flute has a cylindrical bore while the oboe has a conical bore. The fingerings are definitely comparable, but not the same. The oboe has a range from Bb below the treble clef to Ab twice above the treble clef, while the flute has a huge range from C below the treble clef to D twice above the treble clef.

Flute technically takes more air to make a sound, but you can play longer on oboe with the same amount of air if you are experienced.
