The Akademiemodel Wiener oboe, commonly referred to as the Wiener oboe or Viennese oboe, is a type of modern oboe first developed in the 1880s by Josef Hajek. The design of the Wiener oboe retains the essential bore and tonal characteristics of the historical oboe. The Wiener oboe is named after its origins in Vienna (German: Wien) and, besides the more common Conservatoire oboe, is the only other type of modern oboe in use today.
