The Howarth S45C is a graduate model instrument designed for intermediate to advanced level players.
Lighter
in weight than our professional model oboes, the keywork on the S45C
has many of the same features as a professional level instrument with
the dual-system allowing a variety of fingerings and trills. The thicker walled body of the S45C makes it slightly heavier than the S40C, but gives it a more powerful sound.
An ideal upgrade from our student models, the S45C will take players past grade 8 and diploma level.
