The oboe is about as common as the bassoon (the 'other' double reed). It is present in orchestras and bands of nearly all sizes. It is used in the Woodwind Quartets and Quintets. Therefore, every such group (including schools music groups) has them. Generally, in both orchestras and bands, there are two oboes, although as many as four may be called for. If there is a third oboe, they generally also double on English Horn. The oboe is not as common as, say, the clarinet, which is used in bands, orchestras, jazz bands and many other groups. While at most three clarinets are used in orchestras where they appear at all, symphonic bands use them as orchestras use violins. Additionally, while the oboe is recognized as the soprano of a family of instruments made up of the oboe, the much more rare English Horn, the even more rare Baritone oboe and the downright elusive Heckelphone, the clarinet family has many members, most of which are used in symphonic bands. If the question is how commonly is the oboe employed in band or orchestral scores, the answer is nearly universally. String orchestras will generally add oboes first, and any orchestra larger than that retains them. Bands may or may not have oboes, but the scores invariably employ a few. In popular music, added orchestral music often employs oboes, and some rock bands in the 1960's (such as the Moody Blues) included members who played, rather than merely contracting them as added color.
The instruments used in rave bands are electronic instruments. They do not use actual instruments that you hold in your hand, everything is done electronically.
There are flutes, piccolos, clarinets, oboes, bass clarinets, bassoons, and all saxophones. Most school bands only have alto and tenor saxophones, maybe a bari-sax, and rarely a soprano saxophone.
Flutes, Clarinets, and Saxophones are all used in concert and parade bands. Saxophone would probably be the most popular. I think that oboes are also used in concert and parade bands.
the double bass, or upright bass, is the lowest stringed instrument used in common orchestras and jazz bands. there are lower string instruments, but they are not common.

There are many different instruments that can be used in a jazz band. The most common include saxophones, trumpets and horns, and trombones. Some jazz bands use other instruments such as flutes, drums, and vibraphones as well. There isn't an accurate explanation as to why because jazz bands are usually improvised and comprised of different people and different musical talents and sounds.
