Woodwind related to the cor anglais

Why does Oboe fit this clue?

This is a direct definition clue where the phrase 'Woodwind related to the cor anglais' points straight to OBOE. An oboe is a double-reed woodwind instrument with a distinctive bright, penetrating tone, commonly found in orchestras and chamber ensembles. The cor anglais, also called the English horn, is essentially a larger, lower-pitched version of the oboe, sharing the same double-reed mechanism and fingering system. Because the cor anglais is built as an alto oboe in F, the two instruments are closely related members of the same family, making OBOE the natural answer here.
