Howarth S40 Full Automatic 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.
This S40C is a conservatoire system with fully 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.
