Advance with the Howarth S20C Intermediate Oboe with 3rd Octave and Unlined Bore
The Howarth S20C model oboe is an intermediate conservatoire instrument designed for the student player.
It features some more advanced oboe keywork options than the Junior and Junior PLUS+ Conservatoire models, but is still significantly lighter in weight than Howarth’s professional models. The keywork is all covered hole to make it easier for younger players and those with smaller hands to navigate the full range of the instrument.
An ideal upgrade from the Howarth Junior Conservatoire Oboe or Junior PLUS+ Conservatoire model, the S20C model will take players comfortably up to advanced student level.
