OBSOLETE OBOE
Sitr,-sSome weeks back your corres‘pondent "ALTO" was inquiring about ‘an obsolete member of the oboe family, intermediate in pitch between oboe and bassoon. I have not since noticed any ‘teply to his query so perhaps he may be glad of one. The name of the instrument he seeks is no doubt that of the oboe d’amore, which was built to sound a minor third lower than the ordinary oboe and its natural scale was that of B natural major. The tone of this instrument, being softer than the ordinary oboe, lay somewhere between that of the latter instrument and of the cor anglais in quality.
