Howarth
S10 Oboe
The Howarth S10
(previously known as the S10B), 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.
A professional model
oboe can weigh up to 0.72 kg, the Howarth S10 weighs only
0.54 kg. 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.
