Is there an oboe in Mamma Mia?

Honey, Honey – Mamma Mia! The singing sound of the oboe lends itself perfectly to this instrumental passage in the Mamma Mia! version of ‘Honey Honey’, which replaces Bjorn and Benny’s singing part in the original. It’s playful and ever so slightly yearning, and helps turn the song into one cracker of an ABBA cover.

If you are just looking to dabble, clarinet is better. I play both oboe and clarinet. Oboe was easier to learn (harder to play), and clarinet is easier to play (but kind of hard to learn). I also enjoy playing oboe more, but it just requires so much reed maintenance and its extremely difficult to play.
