I play the Oboe and to me it sounds like a snake charmer's insturment. but to others it sounds like a dying bird.
It depends on the make and brand of the oboe. It can also depend on the reed you use and the wood it is made out of. However, it generally sounds like ,some people say, a duck, but it can also be sweet or mysterious. It is the instrument that tunes the whole band.
The oboe can be mellow in some music pieces such as romantic music
hm... very hard todescribe In Peter and the Wolf (by Sergei Prokofiev) The oboe represents a duck. The oboe is also used for many sad or romantic songs, like in the song across the stars for Star Wars Episode two: Attack of the Clonesby the composer John Williams.
I'man Oboist! it looks like a small Clarinet, but has no mouthpiece, but instead has a double-reed which is inserted into a hole at the top. Like,the clarinet, the oboe has the same type of keys but with the "pinkiefinger" keys there is only three and four keys on the sides.Therefore, it is hard to glide on the oboe.
It is generally black, is skinnier than a clarinet, but slightly shorter. It has 3 silver keys on the upper part, and 3 on the lower. The bell isn't as flared as flared as a clarinet. It also has several teardrop shaped keys along the sides, and 1 on the back.
When you blow into it with a buzzing sound made at the reed the vibrations create a sound wave controlled by the keys and fingers.

The oboe d'amore is a minor third lower in pitch than the oboe, however typically music for the oboe d'amore is written so that oboe fingerings may be used (in other words, the note A is printed as a C, so that the player uses the oboe fingering for C but the note sounds a minor third lower).
