* Please see the information below that I gathered online. * "These are all different types of names of oboes: English horn - also known as cor anglais, is pitched to the key of F.
* Oboe d'amore - is pitched in A, mainly used in Bach compositions and other pieces written in the 20th century.
* Baritone oboe - also known as hautbois barytonlooks like a bigger, lower-pitched English horn.
* Heckelphone - its' bore and reed are larger than the baritone Oboe. There are other types of oboes which are rarely used. First Known Oboes: The name oboe is a German word, it is hautbois in French. The oboe originated from the shawm, an instrument used for outdoor ceremonies. Michel Philidor and Jacques Hotteterre are credited for inventing the orchestral oboe whch was used to play indoors along with string instruments. During the 17th century, the oboe became one of the leading solo instruments used in the military and orchestras. Oboes used to have only 2 keys."
