Editing Shawm (section)

===Oboe===
The shawm inspired the later 17th-century [[Baroque oboe|''hautbois'']], an invention of the [[France|French]] musician [[Martin Hotteterre]] (d. 1712). He is credited with devising essentially a brand-new instrument, one which borrowed several features from the shawm, chiefly its double reed and conical bore, but departed from it significantly in other respects, the most important departure being the fact the player places his lips directly on the reed with no intervening pirouette. Around 1670, the new French {{lang|fr|hautbois}} began replacing the shawm in military bands, concert music and opera; by 1700, the shawm had all but disappeared from concert life, although as late as 1830 shawms could still be heard in German town bands performing their municipal functions.{{sfn|Baines|1991}} Curiously, the Germans and [[Dutch people|Dutch]] continued to manufacture an ornate version of the shawm, called {{lang|de|deutsche Schalmey}}, well after the introduction of the French {{lang|fr|hautbois}}. Several examples of this instrument survive in European collections, although its exact musical use is unclear.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
