What is Oboe?
Beautiful when played by a good player; duck-like when played by a not-so-good player. A usually wooden woodwind instrument, part of the double reed family (which includes the bassoon, english horn, etc). Played in treble clef; pitched in C. Insanely hard to play in tune.
That beginner oboe player sounds like she's killing a duck...

What does "Oboe" mean?
An oboe is a woodwind instrument. It is one of the hardest instruments to play, and it adds a lot of interesting moments to your life. You worry about your reeds being perfect. There are many jokes consisting of oboes. Such as: There was a band directer who had a gun with two bullets there was an oboe player, trumpet player, and bassoon player. who did he shoot? a)The oboe player- twice, just to make sure. Or What's the difference between an oboe and an onion? a)You don't cry when you're cutting up the oboe . Many people think the oboe is an unneeded instrument. It can sound like a dying duck when played badly, and like an angel descending from above if played well. Side note: Never EVER go near an oboe player's reed or oboe, you'll be pounded faster than you can say "help". Keep in mind that oboe players carry around knives to make reeds, so they already have the upper hand. It is commonly mistaken for a clarinet. The oboe is a C instrument and the clarinet is a Bb instrument. So NO they are not alike, they don't even have the same fingerings.
Person 1:What happened to first chair clarinet? Person 2: Oh, he's in the hospital after he touched the oboe player's instrument. Oboe threats are not to be taken lightly

Oboe - definition
One of the highest and most annoying instruments ever created and is so annoying everyone wishes they could go back in time to prevent the creation of it to save the world.
"The Oboe played so high and loud that the conductor had to stop the band to tell off the Oboe player for sucking."
Oboe - slang
A double reeded (the same group as the basoon and English horn) woodwind instrument in the key of C. Infamous amoung bands and orchestras for being difficult to master. Mediocre players often get caught playing very flat, causing a tune much like a duck. However, when played in tune, it plays a distinctivley high and harmonic sound often used in movies to create a more depressed or romantic tune, however they are often used in the harmony of more upbeat arrangements to balance out the low brass section. Looks much like a clarinet, however its body is much thinner and it plays without a ligature. Its double reeds are often made fun of in addition, as they are too delicate to be softened by saliva and have to be wetted using water.
The oboe is an elegant instrument.

An awesome woodwind instrument which the whole orchestra tunes to. Produces a beautiful pure sound usually meant for slow sad pieces but sometimes for light and quick pieces.

Oboe
An oboe is a rare, double reed woodwind instrument. It is a pain in the ass to play, and everybody who plays it thinks that they are the greatest musician in their band, though they are mistaken at least 50% of the time. It is a stupidly complicated instrument; it has three different fingerings for one note and most times when you break it nobody will know how to fix it. Only people who can afford a $3,000 instrument and private lessons play the oboe and don't quit after a year. People who play the oboe are most commonly edgy, self-obsessed, antisocial, and in some sort of Honors or AP program. They will quit the band program if they are not first chair out of spite. Oboists are usually the smartest people, but also the most irritating to be around. An oboe can make a beautiful sound, but only if you can afford a $30 reed which has a tendency to break a day after you buy it. More commonly you'll hear them at concerts as that loud and obnoxious person everybody wishes would quit the band program but doesn't. Playing the oboe also requires the purchase of a shot glass and cigarette papers, so most people think that you're either an alcoholic or chronic smoker. It's not easy being an oboist.
The concert band had only one oboe because everybody kept quitting after a year.
Oboe
A really awesome musical instrument that clarinetists pick up for two seconds, make a duck-like noise, and put down, saying that it is too hard. The annoying ones, however, make a nasty sound and say "Look, I can play it. It's not actually the hardest instrument ever." Seriously, though, it is so hard to play the oboe. You have the double reed, all the doo-hickey keys, and the half-hole that just make oboists constantly want to kill themselves. When played well it is absolutely gorgeous, but it is incredibly hard to become a master of the oboe.
Clarinetist: Ooh! Can I play your oboe really quick?
Oboist: Okay, sure.
Clarinetist: *makes an awful noise* See! Everyone says oboe is so hard but I bet I could be as good as you in about two weeks since our instruments are kind of similar.
Oboist: SHUT UP YOU ASSHAT!
