Oboe da Caccia is a musical instrument that was commonly used during the Baroque period. It is a type of oboe that is pitched lower than the standard oboe and it has a curved shape rather than a straight one. There are a few different synonyms that are used for the Oboe da Caccia, including the "Hunting Oboe" and the "Oboe di Caccia." Another name for this instrument is the "English Horn," although this is a bit of a misnomer, as it is not actually a horn, but rather a woodwind instrument. Regardless of what you call it, the Oboe da Caccia is a beautiful and unique instrument that adds a special sound to any Baroque composition.
