Howarth S40CTP Oboe

Description

Howarth S40CTP Oboe

The Howarth S40CTP Oboe Wood Silver Plated Keys is a Graduate model, designed for the diploma level player. This oboe includes many essential features found on a professional oboe, with mechanisms for almost every trill. At just over 640g, the oboe remains comparatively light in weight and is therefore suitable for accomplished young musicians. The Howarth S40CTP is a dual system oboe which means the player can use either the thumbplate system or the Conservatoire system. The instrument has a wonderfully immediate, even and reliable response, and a rich, lively sound coupled with immaculate intonation. It is an ideal oboe for the serious student, and makes an excellent transition instrument between advanced intermediate and professional levels.
