It would depend on your mouth and being able to handle a double reed instrument.
Unlike the clarinet, the oboe has a double reed, and is a bit harder to get a sound out.
If you realy want to, go for it.

The trumpet and oboe are two really different instruments. The trumpet has three keys and the oboe has thirty something. The oboe is also a woodwind, it uses a reed, which is a really expensive piece of flimsy wood, to create sound. They break about every 5 minutes and you have to constantly make sure it's wet. It's also a different way to position your mouth and the instrumenthas a different natural key. You could go ahead and try it. But it would be tough

I would say probably not. I play clarinet and I personally think that going from playing on a trumpet mouthpiece to a double reed oboe would be a completely new ball game. I'm not saying it's impossible but you are seriously going to have to retrain your lips and all that fun stuff. Believe me when i try to make even a slight sound on a trumpet It is torcher and sounds awful because I'm used to playing on an instrument that uses a reed. but if you have will power go for it. If i were and I was planning on changing instruments i would consider another brass instrument like a trombone or french horn or something with a similar mouthpiece therefore you don't have to retrain your lips

I played clarinet for three years, and i still couldn't play an oboe. I've tried playing trumpet and the emboucher (I think thats the right word) is completely different. However, if you want to play oboe, I'm sure you could, it just might take a while to get it right.

traditionally, woodwind doublers who play soprano clarinet circulate to alto or tenor sax subsequent. Bass clarinet is an consumer-friendly addition and makes a sturdy transition to tenor sax besides. Sax, oboe, and flute will use an analogous fingerings you recognize out of your bigger sign up. Bassoon will use on the area of an analogous out of your decrease sign up. traditionally, the books for doublers are: Alto I (soprano sax, soprano clarinet, flute) Alto II (soprano clarinet, flute, oboe) Tenor I (bass clarinet, flute, soprano clarinet) Bari I (bass clarinet, bassoon, enormous flutes) yet, there might properly be significant swap up there. word that everybody is doubling flute and clarinet. So, fact - take your p.c.., whichever you elect to attempt first. in case you intend to be a doubler, sax would be mandatory besides yet at last you will might desire to get to each thing.

When was the last time you heard a band leader having a OBOE?

no way! you can do so much more with horns. they go with any kind of music and they sound great. horns just add something different to music. if you want a change, why not try the sax?
