{{Main|Wiener oboe}}
The [[Wiener oboe]] (Viennese oboe) is a type of modern oboe that retains the essential bore and tonal characteristics of the historical oboe. The Akademiemodel Wiener Oboe, first developed in the late 19th century by Josef Hajek from earlier instruments by C. T. Golde of Dresden (1803–73), is now made by several makers such as André Constantinides, Karl Rado, [[Guntram Wolf]], Christian Rauch and Yamaha. It has a wider internal bore, a shorter and broader reed and the fingering-system is very different from the conservatoire oboe.{{sfn|Haynes|Burgess|2016|loc=176}} In ''The Oboe'', Geoffrey Burgess and Bruce Haynes write "The differences are most clearly marked in the middle register, which is reedier and more pungent, and the upper register, which is richer in harmonics on the Viennese oboe".{{sfn|Burgess|Haynes|2004|loc=212}} Guntram Wolf describes them: "From the concept of the bore, the Viennese oboe is the last representative of the historical oboes, adapted for the louder, larger orchestra, and fitted with an extensive mechanism. Its great advantage is the ease of speaking, even in the lowest register. It can be played very expressively and blends well with other instruments."<ref>{{cite web|title=Modern Woodwind Instruments|url=http://www.guntramwolf.de/englisch/o_modern.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080803063635/http://www.guntramwolf.de/englisch/o_modern.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 3, 2008|publisher=Guntram Wolf|access-date=27 November 2012}}</ref> The Viennese oboe is, along with the Vienna horn, perhaps the most distinctive member of the [[Wiener Philharmoniker]] instrumentarium.
