I played the Oboe for 4 years and it is rated as the toughest instrument to learn to play because it uses a double reed. After 4 years i gave up because it is so hard to learn to play. For comparison, I learned to play the Saxophone it 6 months.

You don't just blow, you have to blow across the hole, and get the embouchure right to actually make a note. It may take a long time to get used to.

I suggest mastering the flute first.
