Howarth S40c oboe

Howarth S40C oboe plus thumb plate, second hand in outstanding condition. This oboe was made in May 2016 and has had very little use. The Howarth S40C + thumb plate is a graduate model instrument designed for intermediate to advanced level players.

Lighter in weight than Howarth professional model oboes, the keywork on the S40C has many of the same features as a professional level instrument with the dual-system allowing a variety of fingerings and trills.

An ideal upgrade from Howarth student models, the S40C will comfortably take players past grade 8 to advanced level.
