I've been having this puzzling decision all week, Oboe or Clarinet? Clarinet has a low yet high sound that sounds nice, and the Oboe has that really nice low sound like the cello.
Both are relaxing and really fun to play. Some opinions would help me decide. Thanks in advance

I was just listening to both instruments, and the oboe sounded a little higher... although it may have just been playing in it's higher range. Personally I liked the clarinet more... it seemed warmer and more soothing.

If you are ready for a challenge, try the oboe. It is very rewarding to master the instrument. I do believe that reeds can be a struggle at times, but with the right teacher, that issue can be solved as well.

I like the clarinet better.  The oboe, from what I've heard, is VERY hard to play. Some players that I know have to exhale before they inhale again because it uses such little air.

Only an Oboe fanatic would think the oboe has a better sound than clarinet. I don't play either one so I'm pretty objective about it. The clarinet has a MUCH mellower tone quality than the nasal sounding Oboe. "What's the best way to get 2 oboe to play the same note?" Shoot one! "What's an Oboe good for?" Setting a Bassoon on fire.

Both instruments have a unique timbre which adds to the ensemble. Both are beautiful instruments. If you choose the Oboe, make sure you have access to a private teacher who actually plays the instrument so they can help you with any double reed issues. Many technical issues of the oboe are unique to the oboe in the woodwind family.

i play oboe and love it. most people think it has a bad sound, but most likely they have not heard good players. it is definately a challenge, but is really worth it. once you get good, oboe gets a LOT of solos, and most colleges go crazy if they get a good oboe player.
