The Oboe is built from a combination of wood, typically grenadilla or a similar dense hardwood, which is carefully shaped and crafted into a long, slender body. It features a conical design that narrows toward the top, allowing for a unique tonal quality. Key mechanisms, usually made of metal, are integrated into the body to cover finger holes, enabling the player to produce a range of pitches. The instrument also has a double-reed mouthpiece, made from cane, which is essential for its distinct sound.
