I was surprised to see you mention redwood, so I had to go look up the product online. That doesn't look like what Americans think of as redwood, and, as you suggest, there is no way you could make an oboe out of Sequoia sempervirens. I suspect that it's a translation problem, and the oboe may be made of padauk or redheart. My experience with Mandarin is such that I suspect padauk, redheart, and other species are all just commonly called "red wood."
