The oboe da caccia (literally "hunting oboe" in Italian) is a double reed woodwind instrument in the oboe family, pitched a fifth below the oboe and used primarily in the Baroque period of European classical music. It has a curved tube and a brass bell, unusual for an oboe. Its range is close to that of the English horn—that is, from the F below middle C (notated c1 but sounding f) to the G above the treble staff (notated d3 but sounding g2). The oboe da caccia is thus a transposing instrument in F. The notated range is identical to that of the soprano baroque oboe, and with a good reed, all registers speak very easily. Bach tended to favor the middle and lowest registers, however, perhaps because they are the most characteristic ones for this instrument.
