I haven’t put anything up on WorldReeds™ for quite some time. This is an oboe (duh), but played in a way we don’t hear much here.

I wish I could tell you more about this. I ran things through google translate and I’m still note getting much. I believe the oboist’s name is Kamil Jalilov and he’s from Azerbaijani. Other than that I know nothing.

A Russian hornpipe

I think this can also be called a melodica.
