Second Hand Howarth S10B Oboe

Description

Second Hand Howarth S10B Oboe

Second Hand Howarth S10B Oboe in very good condition. Complete with original case and reed case.

The Howarth S10B is a long-established student model oboe, is recommended by leading teachers and chosen by Education Authorities and Music Services throughout the U.K.

It is recognised as the best student English system oboe available and indeed many of today’s professional players began lessons on a Howarth B Model oboe.

The instrument is particularly suitable for students because the design specification includes close finger spacing for the smaller hand and the instrument is light in weight for ease of handling.

The popularity of the oboe has increased dramatically in recent years and we have found that students are starting at younger ages than ever before. In order to help younger players, the S10 is an all covered hole model.
