The oboe is usually made from wood, with an extremely narrow conical bore?, and double-reed mouthpiece. This leads to overblowing at the octave (compare to the clarinet which overblows a twelfth). Together with the flute it is one of the older woodwind instruments.

Sibling instruments are the cor Anglais (English horn, a fifth lower than the oboe) and oboe d'amore.
