What does OBOIST mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A musician who plays the oboe.
An oboist trains for years to control the double reed that gives the oboe its distinctive, piercing tone, an instrument often trusted to sound the tuning note before an orchestra begins to play. The word is formed simply by adding the ending -ist, meaning a person who practices something, to oboe, the same pattern seen in pianist and violinist. Orchestral scores usually call for one or two oboists, seated toward the front of the woodwind section.
