english horn

Member of the woodwind family. A double reed instrument. Is NOT a "big oboe". Pitched a fifth below the oboe, in F. In orchestral works, is usually used to convey "sad" emotions. Has a deeper, more mellow sound due to the rounded bell. Is not English, despite the name. It's actually French. This is from a mis-translation of its other name, "cor anglais", which means "angled horn" but can also mean "English horn".
That English horn solo made me cry.

flute

The best instrument in the world. People like to make fun of it for the whole American pie thing and how high it is, but they're really just in awe of its supreme glory! You know that saying, about jealous people? Yeah.

Anyway flutes are generally made out of metal (silver, nickel, gold, platinum, alloys, etc) although Baroque flutes are often made out of wood. Flutes can play lower than most people expect.

Did I mention it's prettyful?
One day, flutes will take over the world. Until then I'll just sit here and cry.

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...
