Howarth S45C Thumbplate (Dual System) Oboe

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.
