Oboes are a family of double reed woodwind musical instruments. The most common oboe plays in the treble or soprano range. Oboes are usually made of wood but there are also oboes made of synthetic materials. Sound is produced by blowing into the reed and vibrating a column of air. The distinctive oboe tone is versatile and has been described as "bright". Someone who plays the oboe is an oboist.
