What character in Shakespeare played the flute or oboe?
Characters in the plays do not plays oboes (spelled "hautboys" back then) but they were played often by musicians to announce the arrival of a great person. Oboes back then had a harsh braying sound quite unlike the sweet sad sound they have now. Think about the sound of bagpipe chanters, which are double reeds the same as oboes.
Flutes, especially recorders, were another story. Ariel in the Tempest plays one along with a small drum (a "tabor"). The pipe he was playing was a one-handed pipe, so the other hand would be free to beat the drum. Hamlet also probably plays one after the Mousetrap play when he demands that Guildenstern should play for him on the recorder and says "Look you, these are the stops."
