Howarth Junior Beginner Oboe
This is a beginner student oboe built with a simplified French Conservatoire mechanism, without compromising quality. It is made of Grenadilla wood with silver-plated keywork, and shows the same attention to detail as the acclaimed professional model instruments through which Howarth has built its international reputation.

This, together with their finely-adjusted precise mechanism, will make a beginner feel like a professional musician right from the start.

Description
The Howarth company
The Howarth name was first associated with wind instrument manufacture in 1874, when George Howarth apprenticed with instrument maker Alexander Liddle in London. George was the father of T.W.

In 2008, the firm changed its name to Howarth of London Ltd, to reflect its expanded business and growing international repuation.
Today, Howarth of London is internationally recognized as the manufacturer of some of the very finest oboes, oboes d’amore and Cors anglais in the world. Furthermore, the company is also considered a leading manufacturer in bassoons, clarinets, and saxophones.
