The Howarth S40C is a graduate model instrument designed for intermediate to advanced level players. This model is a grenadilla body with a synthetic lined top joint.

Lighter in weight than the professional Howarth models, the keywork on the S40C has many of the same features as a professional level instrument, with a greater variety of fingerings and trills compared to the S20C.

An ideal upgrade from our student models, the S40C will take players to advanced student level.
