  Howarth Intermediate Model Oboes and English Horns

Howarth is pleased to introduce a new range of oboes and English Horns specially designed for the North American intermediate oboist. These high quality instruments are made from the finest materials. Nickel silver mechanism is finished with a generous coating of electro-plated silver. These instruments are tuned to A-440.

Oboes
Model 45P Oboe- Body made from high density black resin. Bodies are turned and bored in the same way as working grenadilla wood. Full conservatory mechanism with the exception of the split ring D#-E trill. Articulated C# key to facilitate Eb/Db and Db/Bb. Left hand F key and low Bb vent are standard. Comes in French style case. Very similar to the Fox 330 oboes.
Model 55 Oboe- Lower joint and bell made from quality selected grenadilla (Dalbergia melanoxlyon). Upper joint is made of high density resin. Metal lined sockets and tenons metal tipped. Mechanism same as Model 45P but this model adds the split ring D#-E trill to make it a full conservatory system. Complete in French style case with case cover. Comparable to the Fox 450 oboe.
Model S40C Oboe- Made from quality selected grenadilla. Features left hand F, low Bb, and forked-F resonance keys. Similar to the Cabart oboe made by Loree.
