oboe 

A double reed woodwind instrument played in treble clef and pitched in C. A musician who plays the oboe is called an oboist. It resembles the clarinet in terms of outward appearance. In comparison to other woodwind instruments, the oboe has a clear and penetrating voice. The oboe is said to be the instrument that most resembles the human singing voice due to the nature of double reeds and their similarity to the human vocal bands (Ligamenta vocalia). It is beautiful when played by good player; duck-like when played by a mediocre player. Considered one of the hardest instruments in the world.

That n00b oboe player sounds like a duck on crack.

Oboe 

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.

Oboe 

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 

An instrument used while hunting to attract ducks. It sounds like a mating call, so male and female ducks go quickly to it.

"hey, were going hunting," "don't forget to bring the oboe."
