Flute technically takes more air to make a sound, but you can play longer on Oboe with the same amount of air if you are experienced. With flute, you expel all your air, but with oboe you don't; you only expel a portion before the "used" air that hasn't been expelled forces you to exhale and inhale, only to repeat the process repeatedly throughout the song
The oboe is generally regarded as harder to play than the flute because of the air pressure that is required when blowing into an oboe reed and because of the sensitivity of the oboe reed regarding a proper amount of moisture.
No. I play flute in a band that has an oboe, too, and they are two completely different instruments. You hold the flute sideways and blow into a lip hole and with the oboe you hold it down and blow on a double reed.
The Flute actually requires a lot of air. Even more than a Tuba! This is because unlike the Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe, Bassoon and the Brass, we do not have any resistance on our air. The reed or mouthpiece prevent the flow of excess air, and the Flute is open to the air so air is let out quite freely and breath control is needed to be learnt.
The oboe is known as a double reeded instrument but this is a red herring as the SINGLE reed is made from one piece of cane folded over. The oboe makes a sound my air causing the two reed sides to vibrate against one another. This is different from a single reeded instrument like a clarinet where the reeed vibrates against the mouthpiece.
Yes! The flute is part of the woodwind instrument family.In the Renaissance Period, flutes actually had a small reed in them (much like an oboe reed). This is why they were originally classified as a woodwind instrument, and it has stuck since.Yes a flute is a woodwind, even if it is made of metal.

It actually takes more air to play the flute than it does to play the tuba. The flute is a difficult instrument to learn and will require practice.Actually its not the fingerings that are hard its the air.

The five primary instruments of the wind family are flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and saxophone. Each instrument produces sound by blowing air through a mouthpiece or reed, making them part of the woodwind category.

when the oboe player blows warm air in the instrument in softens the pitch. when they blow cool air it becomes louder

tree+air=flute
The flute vibrate when you blow air across the embrochure, causing the air to vibrate inside the flute which causes the sound to come out the end of the flute.
tree+air=Flute
You blow air over the hole. (Have the flute always rolled more outwards.) If your frown it also helps. Keep trying and you will get it eventually.
