The Oboe d'amore is in A; the oboe is in C. The oboe d'amore is a minor third lower in pitch than the oboe, however typically music for the oboe d'amore is written so that oboe fingerings may be used (in other words, the note A is printed as a C, so that the player uses the oboe fingering for C but the note sounds a minor third lower).
