Oboe
The oboe is a double reed woodwind instrument renowned for its bright and expressive sound. Made from wood or synthetic materials, it features a slender, conical shape that contributes to its unique tone. The oboe is played using two reeds that vibrate together, creating a rich, penetrating sound that is both beautiful and distinctive. It plays a crucial role in orchestras, often leading melodies and providing a warm contrast to other instruments.
