What are the Oboe and Bassoon?
The oboe and bassoon are both woodwind instruments, which means they make sound by blowing air through a special mouthpiece called a reed. They are part of the same family, but they sound different from each other.
The oboe is a smaller instrument and has a high, bright, and sometimes dramatic sound. It looks like a long, skinny tube and is played by blowing air through a reed that sits at the top. Oboes are often used in orchestras to create beautiful, expressive melodies.
The bassoon, on the other hand, is much bigger and has a deep, rich sound. It’s also played with a reed, but it’s larger and has a more complex shape. The bassoon is the lowest-pitched woodwind instrument, and you’ll often hear it providing a deep, grounded sound in orchestral music.
