Tenor oboes are pitched 4 or 5 notes below the treble (or standard) oboe, and were first used in the early 1690s. They were mostly played in royal processions and military marches during the 18th century.

a tube-shaped musical instrument that is played by blowing through two reeds (= thin pieces of wood), or this type of instrument generally; a woodwind. (Definition of oboe from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary © Cambridge University Press)

A: The oboe is the soprano or mezzo-soprano member, the oboe d'amore (pitched in A) is the alto, the English horn (pitched in F) is the tenor, and the bass oboe is the lowest member (pitched in C, an octave below the oboe). There is such a thing as a soprano oboe (or musette), but it is hardly ever used.

The tenor oboe is pitched in the key of F and its range is typically from F3 to G5 spanning just over two octaves. The early instruments had two keys and six finger holes. It has a very sweet low sound and is similar in shape and sound to the modern English horn.

The French term for the oboe, hautbois, means wood of high-pitched or loud sound. The English and Italian term oboe, the German terms Oboe and Hoboe, and other words in other languages have the French word as their origins.

Tenor instruments: trombone, euphonium, tenor violin, tenor flute, basset horn, tenor saxophone, tenoroon, tenor recorder, bass flute. Baritone instruments: cello, baritone horn, bass clarinet, bassoon, baritone saxophone.

Oboes have been used in orchestras for about 400 years and are among the most established instruments of the orchestra. The oboe is slightly lower in pitch than the flute and so occupies the alto register in the woodwind section.

The treble clef, a G-clef, is used by violin, flute, oboe, cor anglais, clarinet, saxophone, French horn, trumpet, cornet, vibraphone, xylophone, mandolin, recorder, bagpipe and guitar players, as well as other instruments in some contexts.

The oboe is a C woodwind, that is, a C major instrument. A lower pitched instrument is the A woodwind, the oboe d'amore, which is pitched in A major. Even lower is the F woodwind, the cor anglais (also known as the English horn), pitched in F major. Those are just two of the relatives of the oboe.

The tenor is a classical voice type with the highest pitch range within the four choral voice types (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The four male voice types from lowest to highest are bass, baritone, tenor, and countertenor (often considered a ''male alto''). In opera, there are many different subtypes of tenor voices.
