The oboe proper (i.e., the orchestral instrument), however, was the mid-17th-century invention of two French court musicians, Jacques Hotteterre and Michel Philidor.
Why was oboe created?
During the mid 17th century, the first baroque oboe (called hautbois, meaning high-wood ) was created in France, where it was used to entertain the French court. Made of boxwood with several holes but only two or three keys, it gained immediate popularity in many countries.
Who designed the oboe in 1872 in use today?
Oboe design reached its pinnacle in the mid 19th century in the shop of instrument maker Frederic Triebert, who worked with famed oboist Apollon M. R. Barret to develop a narrow bore oboe that was first patented in 1872.
