S40C Oboe
The Howarth S40C oboe is a graduate model designed for intermediate- to advanced-level players, and is an ideal upgrade from our student models. Still comparatively light in weight, and therefore suitable for accomplished young musicians, the keywork on the S40C has many of the same features as a professional-level instrument, with a greater variety of fingerings and trills than the S20C. This oboe will comfortably take players past grade 8 to advanced level.
The S40C is a conservatoire system with semi-automatic octaves, a third octave key, C-D, C-C#, Ab-Bb, A-Ab, and low C-C# (“Banana”) trill keys, forked F and low Bb vents, a left-hand F key, and a low B-C link.

YOB831L Duet Oboe
The YOB831L is one of Yamaha’s Duet+ oboes, where a combination of wood and state-of-the-art resin are used during manufacture to form a ‘duet’ of tradition and technology, leading to a ‘plus’ advantage. This oboe has an ebonite lining and its tone holes are resin-lined, both of these features helping to protect the instrument against damage from cracking. This instrument has had very little use.

Junior
The Howarth Junior oboe is an ideal beginner instrument and will take the player through their early graded music exams, until they are ready to comfortably progress to a full-system oboe such as the S10 or the S20.
It is our lightest student model oboe, manufactured from the traditional Grenadilla wood used for our professional-model instruments. The keywork has been simplified to keep the instrument light and reduce any risk of accidental keywork damage. The keys themselves are fully covered and have been extended to reduce the stretch for small hands.
The Junior is a thumbplate (English) system with simple octaves, extended G and D keys, and no trill keys or low B/Bb/left Eb keys.
