The reed of the Oboe is what creates the sound. When air is passed through the Oboe reeds the two blades of the reed open and close very quikly, and a sound is produced. The sound and vibrations from the reed cause the instrument to vibrate and produce a sound of its own, along with amplifying the original sound of the reed.
