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.

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.
Very funny. Oboe and bassoon players are more likely to get scholarships because less people play them. I'm in a fairly large band program at my school, and there are at least 40 clarinet players, if not more. There are 4 or 5 oboe players, and there are 5 bassoon players. You do the math.

I don't debate that playing Oboe is more difficult. It is. The Oboe tunes the orchestra because it has the least amount of ability to physically tune when compared to all the other instruments. All other instruments are very easy to tune. Not Oboe. The original question was which sounds better. I still maintain Clarinet sounds much better. Most Oboes are not well played especially in Junior/High School bands. 5 in one band is a tuning nightmare.

you can not compare clarinet and oboe. clarinet has much nicer sound, and the most imortant IT'S A SOLO INSTRUMENT which oboe isn't. even Mozart composed solo piece for clarinet! who will listen or compose concerto for oboe? ))))
clarinet no doubt

Oboe, definetely. Oboe's are the backbone of orchestras. They're so awesome. I play oboe, saxophone, and piano and have lots of experiences with clarinets. An oboe will allow you to excel in whatever you do much easier, if you're talented enough to do it.
definitely oboe

Do you even know what an oboe is?
And it depends how much time a person's willing to devote as to which will sound better. As an occassional instrument, which isn't going to be practised and barely played, it's far easier to get a decent sound out of a clarinet. But at pro level, the oboe's a beautiful instrument which is unequaled in tone by anything else.

Also, there is a Mozart oboe concerto. And concertos by many other composers, which are well listened to and appreciated by people who actually know anything about music.
