"This instrument is based on a two-keyed original by the 18th-century London maker Caleb Gedney now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The exterior appearance of this instrument is exceptionally elegant. Its tone is sweet. The range is two octaves plus a tone, F3 to G5. The tenor Oboe is played in the oboe band, where its function of filling in the harmonies is fulfilled in a most admirable way, and can also be used as a substitute for the oboe."

Is an English horn really a horn?
No, the English horn (in F) is the tenor oboe. The alto oboe is the oboe d'amore which is in A. Disagree: the English Horn is an ALTO-pitched instrument in 3-foot F. The oboe (in 2-foot C) is a SOPRANO instrument. The oboe d'amore is pitched between soprano and alto, so is called MEZZOSOPRANO in pitch. A 4-foot oboe is at TENOR pitch, but is usually misnamed the baritone or bass oboe. For guidance, simply check the saxophone family at the same (or very close) lengths and pitches. The 1 1/2 foot instrument is SOPRANINO, the 2-foot instrument is SOPRANO, the 3-foot ALTO, and the 4-foot TENOR. Then BARITONE for 6-foot pitch and BASS for 8-foot pitch. We can the add the 12-foot pitch and call it SUBBASS, then 16-foot pitch is CONTRABASS (there is no saxophone at the 16-foot pitch, but there is a 16-foot CONTRABASS tubax [look it up]). The sarrusophone family are also conical double reed woodwinds, made of brass with a wide bore. They are named exactly as are the saxophone family; logically, from SOPRANINO 1.5-foot to CONTRABASS 16-foot..
