Oboe
"Stained boxwood in three joints, unmounted. The profile of the upper joint is straight throughout, tapering upwards. Two round brass keys. Two double holes. The bell has two vent holes and an internal flange. The straight turning of the upper joint is common in English oboes of about 1760-1790, though not found in Continental instruments". - Anthony Baines: Catalogue of Musical Instruments in the Victoria and Albert Museum - Part II: Non-keyboard instruments (London, 1998), pp. 96-97.
