The excellent and always popular Howarth S20 is ideal for those wanting their first upgrade wooden Oboe. Made in England, this pre-owned Oboe offers a rich and sonorous tone thanks to the grenadilla wood construction.
The Howarth S20 Oboe is aimed at players advancing through the middle grades with a view to progressing to the later grades. If you're not using the graded exam system then it's worth considering this instrument as suitable to play in a wide range of musical environments, even in a semi-pro situation for doubling.
This particular pre-owned example shows only light signs of general use and has been well maintained. Like all pre-owned instruments from Dawkes this Oboe has been professionally checked and set-up in our Woodwind Workshop prior to sale. This ensures you can buy in total confidence knowing it has been prepared and tested thoroughly.
In summary, this is an excellent quality wooden upgrade Oboe from a premium maker. The Howarth S20 offers a great sound across the range with excellent intonation and response.
