Grand oboe. Dimensions: Total L.: 74.3 cm (28.74 in.). Date: ca. 1650. This instrument is a unique example of a transitional stage in the development of the oboe. It is probably identical with the grand hoboy à une clef that is mentioned in a source of 1650 in which it is pictured. It was pitched like the later oboe d'amore in b-natural and had a key for a, but not yet twinned finger holes. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
