Appraisal

The red oboe appears to be a wind instrument.
You are certain that the red oboe is crafted from wood.
You are certain that the mistwood oboe is well made.
You are certain that the red oboe is fitted with a double reed.

Bard Recall: The oboe is a tube crafted from wood that tapers slightly to a flared end. A series of six or seven holes are drilled upon the front, in-between the often decoratively banded segments, with a small set of two keys placed upon the lower holes to allow a wide range of tones. A slender double reed is placed in the top of the mouthpiece, giving the oboe its characteristic reedy tone.
