I am (very reluctantly) selling my Howarth S20 Oboe, bought new from Howarth around 2007. Selling as I'm in need of funds for my full-time profession. Last time it was serviced the corks were replaced but no repair work was needed and it has hardly been played since then. It's been kept away from moisture and extremes of temperature and cleaned with the rods after playing. With the oboe I am including a reed case, partly used cork grease, the original Howarth hard case as well as their lined soft case that has lots of pockets and a shoulder strap. I'll also throw in my tuner (+ new batteries), a rubber cover for the thumb plate and the two cleaning rods (I've used them to clean the oboe but will soak them before sending). See photos for visual list of what's included. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require more information/images. Here's the Howarth info:"This instrument easily meets the needs of playing up to Grade 8 and beyond. The S20 is light in weight and thus suitable for accomplished young players. It includes certain key features, such as semi-automatic octaves, which are essential for playing at an advanced level. The instrument weighs approximately 600g.The S20 is supplied in a quality hard case.
