Howarth 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.
