English horn a woodwind instrument that looks like the oboe but is larger and lower in tone.
oboe An oboe is a kind of instrument for making music. Oboes are usually made of wood. An oboe has the shape of a tube, and you blow through it to make a sound. The body of the oboe has holes that the fingers cover or uncover to change the notes. The oboe makes a very special kind of sound because the part of the oboe that goes in your mouth is quite different from what other similar instruments have.
