| Instruments of the oboe family and their ranges: |
|
The Inastruments of teh oboe family is a much larger group than people generally realise and comprises the following:
- Musette
- Oboe
- Oboe d'amore
- Cor anglais
- Bass oboe
- Hecklephone
The musette exists in two forms one in Eb and one in F. There are not many of these instruments in existence - I own one (an Eb version by Patricola) and as far as I am aware there is only one other in the UK.
Both versions of the instrument are transposing instruments: the Eb sounds a minor third higher than written and the f, a perfect fourth above the written pitch. |
