There is a HUGE difference between an Oboe and a bassoon.

Bassoons are low woodwinds that are very large and have a reed that sticks out of the middle of the instrument. It sounds kind of muffled and normally plays a similar part in a song as the bass instruments (tuba, Trombone, etc.)

An oboe is similar in physical attributes to an English horn. An oboe has 2 reeds and plays a similar part in songs that a Flute does, just a bit lower-pitched.
