The terms "bass oboe" and "baritone oboe" refer to the same instrument. From Wikipedia:

> "The instrument is known popularly as the "bass oboe" in the English language and "hautbois baryton" (baritone oboe) in French."

Therefore the instrument should be named "bass oboe" in the code, with appropriate translations provided for languages other than English (e.g. "hautbois baryton" in French).
