OBOE
O"boe, n. Etym: [It., fr. F. hautbois. See Hautboy.] (Mus.)
Definition: One of the higher wind instruments in the modern orchestra, yet
of great antiquity, having a penetrating pastoral quality of tone,
somewhat like the clarinet in form, but more slender, and sounded by
means of a double reed; a hautboy. Oboe d'amore Etym: [It., lit.,
oboe of love], and Oboe di caccia Etym: [It., lit., oboe of the
chase], are names of obsolete modifications of the oboe, often found
in the scores of Bach and Handel.
