All classic or symphony orchestras use Oboes, which are double-reed woodwinds. the Woodwind family includes the Clarinet, Oboe, Flute(by tradition all are metallic) Silver, Gold, or these days stainless steel!) and the Bassoon. you see, saxophones are NOT used in symphony orchestras so arrangers have to juggle parts for these woodwind instruments.from the top down, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon-not Baboon.l somebody drew a cartoon of a Baboon playing one when I was in high school and the nickname Baboon caught on. Jazz and dance bands almost always use Saxophones for these transposing parts, the multitude of valves comes in handy., Much mor musicianship is required to play these sounds on an Oboe or Bassoon. The Band leader Mitch Miller (not related to Glenn) was originally an Oboist, by the way.

Some composers that have written famous oboe solos are Beethoven, Berlioz, Bizet, Dvorak, Bach, Handel, Telemann, and Rossini.

Is oboe string?

No, the oboe is not a string instrument; it is a woodwind instrument. It produces sound by vibrating a double reed, which is made of two pieces of cane. Unlike string instruments, which generate sound through vibrating strings, the oboe relies on air passing through its reed to create music.
