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

Witch is easier to play obeo or the flute?

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.


Can an oboe play flute music?

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.


How do you blow into the piccolo?

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.


How many reeds do the flute have?

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.


What kind of instrument is a flute?

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.
