The Howarth Junior PLUS+ Conservatoire oboe is a beginner level instrument that has been specifically designed for our youngest players. It is one of our lightest student model oboes and has a fully-synthetic body. At Musicraft, we offer custom order Howarth Oboes to meet your specific requirements. Contact us for pricing information.
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 our 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.
Graduate model. As per S20C but with centre vents in 2nd & 3rd finger plate L/H and 3rd finger plate R/H, additional Ab/Bb and Ab/A$ mechanism, and double C key. Supplied in Howarth Academy case with case cover. 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.
