Howarth S55C #F0594 Oboe

$4,900

This Howarth professional instrument has great tonal color and density. The lyrical, yet dark tone is marvelous. The synthetic top joint ensures that this oboe won’t crack. It was made in England in 2000, and kept in excellent condition.

Brian Charles has cleaned, oiled, adjusted, and play-tested this oboe in our shop, ensuring it’s ready for performance. It will be fully play-tested, and adjusted again just before it goes out on trial to you. This instrument is a perfect upgrade for someone entering college or joining an orchestra.
