A conical tube instrument with double reed, which assumes the soprano or mezzo voice in the woodwind family. The oboe family sometimes incorporates other members, such as the English horn or the oboe d'amore. It is the smallest double-reed instrument in the orchestra.
Traditionally made of ebony or blackwood, more recently cocobolo wood has also been used. The instrument is made up of three parts. Hardness, resistance to humidity and the possibility of being able to drill holes without the wood cracking are the most sought after qualities in wind instruments. All the woods we offer have these qualities in addition to an undeniable visual beauty.
