OB11153a 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.

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.

While both share the same rich, thick-walled, and dark-toned design, the 125 model specifically includes a high D key facilitator and uses 10-year dried wood.
