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.
The oboe is often used to imitate the duck's quack because of the unique sound the oboe generates.
It has a double reed made of two pieces of cane which vibrates against itself, as opposed to a single reed vibrating against a mouthpiece.
