engl horn sounds diff than oboe.Are they really da same instrument physically.Only an octave lower but bassoon is totally diffeent sound!I guess.I wanna write orchestral music soI need to distinguish and feel the diff for writing music.Oh why didn't I take brass and woodwing classes when I has the oppurtunity!

English horn is in the key of F and has a rounder sound than the oboe, but the fingerings follow the same pattern as the oboe. Another cool instrument in the family is the oboe d'amore. That has a really interesting sound. I'll try to do a video about it one of these days. It looks like a mini English horn.

is the english horn also an octavelower than the oboe or just plays in a different key?

[klbtree]

It's a fifth lower than the oboe, so it's in F.

I agree. It is very fun to play, but it is hard to stay in pitch. (Oboe)

i know this is a video about bass oboe but i have to play english horn on a couple of pieces in my high school concert and im wondering if you can give me a few tips of how to adjust and what i should do differently in order to get a good sound on english horn. Im a freshman and i would ask the other senior and junior oboe players but theyve never played english horn so im on my own! pleaase help lolz.

@hipepleful when you refer to the "contra bass bassoon" as you called it, it's actually a contrabassoon. The instrument already has bass in it's name.
