An English horn is longer and has a lower, mellower sound. It has a bulbous bell, instead of a conical bell. Also, the English horn is in F instead of C. The English horn has a double reed like the Oboe, but it does not go directly into the instrument. It has a small metal pipe that connects the instrument to the reed; called a bocal (like the bassoon). Also, the reed itself is shorter and wider. Unlike the oboe reed, there is no cork, just a brass tube called a staple. The fingerings are the same, but the keys are spaced apart more, so some people might not be able to reach them.
