Talk:Bass oboe

message: The Grove entry for baritone oboe cross references to bass oboe. Dmetric 20:00, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the heckelphone and bass oboe entries need to be merged since the instruments are so often confused (by performers, composers, audiences, etc.); the baritone oboe in Paris in the 1830s is a different instrument than either of the two.  I've taken some photos of baritone oboes (and contrabass oboes) as I find them, and there are as many differences between each one as similarities.  --Myke Cuthbert 21:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be the case, but the heckelphone and the bass/baritone oboe are not in the same family.  The heckelphone is not an oboe.  Badagnani 21:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there are fundamental differences that make them not the same instrument, but I think some writers have disagreed, calling the Heckelphone is a type of oboe.  I think it's a problem that Wikipedia articles don't generally get titles such as "Heckelphone and Bass Oboe" which would make clear that the two are different but share much in common (especially the repertory).  Right now the Heckelphone is listed under "oboe family," in the navigation box.  Do you disagree with this categorization?  (btw--thanks for fixing the red link on my User page; I have no clue why WP is case sensitive...)  --Myke Cuthbert 22:19, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I play both oboe and heckelphone and would answer your question "yes" in some contexts and "no" in others. As with the tubax and subcontrabass saxophone, there are differences in bore that set the two apart, while for all intents and purposes the subcontrabass tubax is a sax, albeit a more manageable one. I do support having both complementary articles but think it's fine to keep heckelphone in the template as a lower version of the oboe, as that's the essential reason it was developed.

message: The article states:  "The instrument is known popularly as the "bass oboe" in the English language and "hautbois baryton" (baritone oboe) in French."
In fact, in the United States, for most of my life I've heard this instrument referred to only as the baritone oboe.  It is only recently that I've heard it called a "bass oboe".   This being the case, I don't think it's correct to say that it's "popularly" known as the "bass oboe".  In fact, it is popularly known as the baritone oboe -- it may also be know as the "bass oboe".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
