 Re: Bombard Oboe - Poor man's Oboe?

A bombard is an ancient double reed instrument, the precursor to the oboe. The sound is completely different as the reed is made completely different. It is now played in specialized early music ensembles and some flokloric/ethnic/fusion groups..... definitely not run of the mill.

Myself, if I had time, I would love to collect all these instruments; for example, there is a modern version of the Schaum played in Spain.

But I highly recommend you wait until you can afford a decent oboe, if that's the instrument you are aiming for.
