The Oboe is a much better instrument then the Flute. It gives a much better sound and tone quality and does not need to tune as it usually stays in pitch. This instrument may be more expensive, but overall is better and sounds better.

That depends what instrument you play but I play the oboe so I prefer that.

The flute is an instrument that children/teens like to play and it is easy to pick up and play but the oboe is less known about,but prominent in classical pieces.I love the sound,the way low notes are strong but its can also be a delicate instrument,almost going as high as the flute!The flute is easier all-round with cost and music but for me the oboe is a greater instrument

What is the difference between a flute and a oboe?

The flute is longer than a oboe and an oboe has a double reed and a flute does not have a reed. The flute has a cylindrical bore while the oboe has a conical bore. The fingerings are definitely comparable, but not the same. The oboe has a range from Bb below the treble clef to Ab twice above the treble clef, while the flute has a huge range from C below the treble clef to D twice above the treble clef.
